THE UNIVERSITY:
A HISTORY OF PUBLIC SERVICE
MORE THAN A CENTURY OF EXCELLENCE
IN HIGHER EDUCATION
From its modest beginnings as a small normal
school for the training of black teachers for the
black schools of Kentucky, Kentucky State
University has grown and evolved to become the
state’s unique, small, liberal studies institution,
serving students without regard to their race, age,
sex, national origin, or economic status.
The University was chartered in May 1886 as the
State Normal School for Colored Persons, only the
second state-supported institution of higher
learning in Kentucky. During the euphoria of
Frankfort’s 1886 centennial celebration, when vivid
recollections of the Civil War remained, the city’s
4,000 residents were keenly interested in having the
new institution located in Frankfort. Toward that
end, the city donated $1,500-a considerable
amount in 1886 dollars-and a site on a scenic bluff
overlooking the town. This united display of
community enthusiasm and commitment won the
day. The new college was located in Frankfort in
spite of competition from several other cities.
Recitation Hall (now Jackson Hall), the college’s
first building, was erected in 1887. The new school
opened on October 11, 1887 with three teachers, 55
students, and John H. Jackson as president.
In 1890 the institution became a land grant
college, and the departments of home economics,
agriculture, and mechanics were added to the
school’s curriculum. The school produced its first
graduating class of five students in the spring of
that year. A high school was organized in 1893.
This expansion continued into the twentieth
century in both name and program. In 1902, the
name was changed to Kentucky Normal and
Industrial Institute for Colored Persons. The name
was changed again in 1926 to Kentucky State
Industrial College for Colored Persons. In the early
1930's the high school was discontinued, and in
1938 the school was named the Kentucky State
College for Negroes. The term “for Negroes” was
dropped in 1952. Kentucky State College became a
university in 1972, and in 1973 the first graduate
students enrolled in its School of Public Affairs.
Over the past 25 years the University’s
enrollment and faculty have more than doubled,
and 30 new structures or major building
expansions have enhanced Kentucky State
University’s 511-acre campus, which includes a
203-acre agricultural research farm.
6 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
Kentucky State University is the smallest of
Kentucky’s public universities with an enrollment of
approximately 2,300 students and 130 full-time
instructional faculty members. During a typical
academic year, the University’s student and faculty
composition indicates a substantial racial balance:
Students: 72% full time
28% part time
75% residents of KY
25% non-KY residents
59% African-American
36% white
5% other
Faculty: 28% African-American
52% white
20% other
Kentucky State University today has 36 campus
structures to serve its family, 11 of which are used
for instructional purposes. Many courses are taught
each academic year in off-campus classes
throughout Franklin County and the surrounding
six-county service area. The University’s student-
faculty ratio is the lowest among public institutions
of higher learning in Kentucky.
Today’s students have the opportunity to receive
an associate (two-year) degree in six disciplines, a
baccalaureate (four-year) degree in 29 disciplines
several of which have optional specializations, and
a master’s degree in two disciplines. Students may
also elect to prepare for professional schools
through the University’s arrangements with the
University of Kentucky, the University of Louisville,
the University of Maryland at College Park,
Vanderbilt University, Meharry Medical College,
Florida A&M University, Northern Kentucky
University, Auburn University, Tuskegee University,
Southern College of Optometry (Memphis), the
University of Houston, and the University of
Alabama-Birmingham.
VISION
In the twenty-first century, Kentucky State
University, a diverse and unique liberal studies,
1890 land grant institution, will be a comprehensive
institution that effectively utilizes its resources to
create an exceptional learning community. In its
curricula, services, and outreach, Kentucky State
University will remain committed to its rich heritage
and dedicated to its future. Outstanding faculty and
staff will prepare leaders committed to continuous
improvement in the opportunities for expression
and participation in the life of the University, the
Commonwealth, the nation, and the world.
MISSION
Kentucky State University is the state’s unique,
small, liberal studies institution with the lowest
student-faculty ratio in the state system. The
University shall serve as a residential institution
with a range of traditional collegiate programs
appropriate to its liberal studies role and to its
status as an historically black college and university.
Geographical Region. Kentucky State
University's geographic region shall be statewide
for its liberal studies mission, its land-grant
functions, and its service to state government. In
addition, Kentucky State University's primary
service area for commuting students shall be for
Franklin and surrounding counties.
INSTITUTIONAL ADMISSION STANDARDS
Kentucky State University shall admit students to
the institution under selective admission standards
which exceed the minimum guidelines established
by the Council on Postsecondary Education, with
only limited exceptions. Institutional guidelines
shall be consistent with the system-wide policy for
admitting underprepared students, including the
removal of academic deficiencies within a specified
time frame. Through this approach, the University
seeks to provide broad access and high-quality
programs.
DEGREE LEVELS
The University shall offer associate,
baccalaureate, pre-professional, professional,
master’s, and education specialist programs
orientated toward liberal studies, selected careers
in state government, and demonstrated student
interests and societal needs.
STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS/PROGRAM PRIORITIES
The University shall focus on liberal studies
programming. Drawing upon its African American
heritage, the University will promote the values and
methods of interdisciplinary, multicultural, and
global education in its liberal studies offerings. All
students shall participate in common curricula that
explore the liberal studies. Drawing upon the
diverse strengths of the University emphasis shall
be placed on preparing students, especially African
Americans, for professional careers, including but
not limited to education, business, computer
science, nursing, human services, and public
services. These strategic priorities translate into a
core of liberal arts baccalaureate degree programs,
honors programs in liberal studies, and degree
programs at the associate (A), baccalaureate (B),
master's (M), and educational specialist (E.S.) levels
that will include, among others, education (B);
business (B); computer science (A, B); nursing (A);
family and consumer science (B); human services
(B); public administration (B, M); and
aquaculture/aquatic science (M).
ENHANCEMENT OF INSTRUCTION
The University shall emphasiże teaching and
scholarship in support of teaching. Meeting student
needs, especially those of African Americans and
other under-served populations shall be
paramount. The University shall focus on the
needs of its students, who include, but are not
limited to, full-time and part-time residential
students, commuting students from its primary
service area, and state government employees.
SERVICE AND RESEARCH FUNCTIONS
As the Commonwealth's 1890 land-grant
institution, Kentucky State University shall fulfill its
responsibilities under federal law and participate
fully in appropriate U.S. Department of Agriculture
programs, in accord with the mission of the
University. Kentucky State University shall be the
major repository for the collection of books,
records, and artifacts relative to the history and
status of African American citizens of the
Commonwealth and elsewhere. The University
shall make such materials available for casual study
and scholarly research. As the comprehensive
institution located in the capital city, Kentucky State
University shall provide service and outreach to the
community and shall focus on meeting the applied
research and service needs of state government.
COLLABORATIVE VENTURES
Kentucky State University shall emphasize
developing and delivering collaborative
programming with other higher education
institutions, area school districts, state government,
and business and industry partnerships. The
University shall develop and employ telecom-
munication resources to communicate with other
institutions in the fulfillment of its mission. Student
advising, articulation agreements, curriculum
development, and electronic technology shall be
employed to facilitate transfer of credits from other
institutions toward degree completion.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 7
EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS
Kentucky State University shall promote cost
effectiveness in academic programming and
institutional management by basing budget
priorities on strategic planning and measures of
quality of performance that promote continuous
improvement of programs and services. Strategic
planning resulting in the elimination of duplicative
or nonproductive programs is essential while the
development of carefully selected new programs
compatible with this mission is appropriate.
Measure of quality and performances shall be the
foundation of the University’s assessment and
accountability system, which promotes the
continuous improvement of programs and
services.
THE UNIQUENESS OF
KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY
Kentucky State University has the most culturally
diverse student body and faculty among all higher
education institutions in Kentucky and one of the
most diverse in the nation. In a typical year, the
institution’s student body is equally divided
between African American and Caucasian students.
About two percent of the students come from 14
foreign countries. The faculty is comprised of 28
percent African Americans, 52 percent Caucasians,
and 20 percent from other ethnic origins.
KSU utilizes only faculty as teachers; no
graduate assistants teach courses. More than two-
thirds of the University’s full-time faculty members
who teach in the institution’s baccalaureate and
master’s degree programs have terminal degrees.
Three percent of the openings in Kentucky’s
publicly-supported law, dental, and medical
schools have been made available to Kentucky
State University graduates who are Kentucky
residents. No other institution of higher education
in the Commonwealth has this guarantee.
The University has the most comprehensive
liberal studies requirements of any public higher
education institution in the state. KSU's Liberal
Studies Requirements constitute a carefully
designed program of 53/54 semester credit hours
of courses selected from various academic
offerings. An important feature of these
requirements is the sequence of Integrative Studies
courses. The Integrative Studies Program elicits
from faculty and students a commitment to analyze
and interpret a body of knowledge that links the
perennial questions of human life with the greatest
works of history, literature, art, philosophy, and the
sciences. The program consists of seven
seminars—three in the Western and four in the non-
Western traditions. With the exception of the
8 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
students in the Whitney M. Young, Jr. College of
Leadership Studies, all baccalaureate degree-
seeking students must successfully complete the
Liberal Studies Requirements of which 12 semester
credit hours must be in the Integrative Studies
Program.
KSU has one of the most outstanding honors
programs in the southern United States, the
Whitney M. Young, Jr. College of Leadership
Studies. Named after the late Whitney M. Young,
Jr., executive director of the National Urban League
from 1961 to 1971, distinguished leader of the
American civil rights movement, and a graduate of
Kentucky State, the College of Leadership Studies
aims, through its special curriculum, to develop in
its students the qualities of critical intelligence,
maturity, and leadership exemplified by Mr. Young.
Although the College is related to other “great
books” programs throughout the United States in
its basic orientation, the curriculum at KSU has
been developed and adapted to take advantage of
the particular conditions at Kentucky State.
Approximately 40 incoming freshman students are
admitted each year into the two- or four-year
program.
The University’s Paul G. Blazer Library is one of
the most comprehensive in Kentucky with more
than 400,000 volumes and 1,200 serialized journals.
The library is totally computerized and offers faculty
and students access to the collections of other
regional libraries through the Kentucky Library
Network (KLN) and the Southeastern Library
Network (SOLINET). The library’s satellite with both
Ku and C bands provides access to national
teleconferences and educational programming.
Blazer Library is a selective depository for United
States Government Document Publications, and
houses an expanding collection of federal and state
documents. As stipulated in its mission in Kentucky
public higher education, KSU is the major
repository in Kentucky for the collection of books,
records, and artifacts relative to the history and
status of African American citizens of the
Commonwealth and elsewhere. About 140,000
patrons visit the Blazer Library annually.
KSU is accredited by the Commission on
Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools, and the University holds full
membership in and/or accreditation from 53 state,
regional, and national educational or professional
organizations. KSU’s academic programs are
outstanding and are exemplified by the recent
accreditation of the School of Business by the
Association of Collegiate Business Schools and
Programs (ACBSP). Less than 100 Schools of
Business nationwide have received this prestigious
accreditation.
Kentucky State offers the Applied Mathematics
(pre-engineering) major, a five-year course of study
in cooperation with four other universities.
Students may choose the University of Kentucky,
the University of Maryland at College Park,
Vanderbilt University, or Florida A&M University for
completion of the program. Students attend KSU
for three years of study in the pre-engineering area
and then transfer to the second institution for two
additional years of work. Upon successful
completion of the first year at the second
institution, students are awarded the Bachelor of
Science degree in Applied Mathematics by
Kentucky State. Students are awarded the bachelor
of science degree in their selected fields of
engineering by the second institution after the final
year of study.
Kentucky State is one of only two Land Grant
higher education institutions in the state and one of
seventeen national 1890 Land Grant institutions
mandated by the Second Morrill Act of 1890 to
conduct research, extension, and teaching in the
food and agricultural sciences. This mandate
enables KSU to offer many opportunities for
students interested in learning more about the food
and agricultural sciences. The Land Grant Program
is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The only aquaculture research program in
Kentucky is located at KSU. Under the tutelage of
the institution's Land Grant Program, aquaculture
research is assuming an ever-increasing emphasis
among Kentucky's farmers. To complement this
research effort, the University has added to its
curricula a master's degree and a minor area of
concentration in aquaculture.
KSU established in 1992 a National Center for
Diversity. This Center is a partnership of
Cooperative Extension programs at Kentucky State,
the University of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania State
University, and the Extension Service of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. Through diversity
training conducted at the Cooperative Extension
program facility on the KSU campus and across the
United States, the National Center for Diversity
works to achieve its mission to enhance diversity
and pluralism within the Cooperative Education
System.
In 1993, the University founded a Center of
Excellence for the Study of Kentucky African
Americans (CESKAA). The unique mission of the
Center is to serve as a cultural, research, and
teaching resource to identify, collect, develop,
research, preserve, and disseminate information
and materials about the Kentucky African
American, the African American, and the African
heritage and experiences and their contributions to
world civilization.
KSU's location in Frankfort, Kentucky's capital
city, permits the University to offer unique and
outstanding state government student internships
that cannot be matched by any other Kentucky
higher education institution. Participating students
gain first-hand experience in government
administration while earning from 3 to 12 academic
semester credit hours. KSU also offers a
supplementary internship program, in which pre-
law students gain experience and earn academic
credits as interns in the Office of the State Attorney
General.
Kentucky State University’s educational mission,
though centered on degree programs that
emphasize liberal studies, also places considerable
importance on the University’s public service
commitments. State government training
capabilities are under the auspices of the
Governmental Services Center at Kentucky State
University. Thousands of state government
employees are drawn annually to the University’s
campus to attend workshops and seminars.
Kentucky State University is truly unique among
the state’s public universities. The University, now
well into its second century of educational service
to Kentucky and the nation, continuously seeks to
become an even more vital educational entity and
to achieve excellence as a liberal studies institution
that is second to none.

THE SETTING
ON THE HILL ;
Going to college is more than just going to class,
and at Kentucky State University an important part
of the student experience is the mix of activities,
cultural events, and recreation that make up life on
the campus upon a scenic hill overlooking
Frankfort. Students have many opportunities to
enjoy themselves outside the classroom. The
calendar includes concerts and dances; swimming
activities; talent shows; homecoming activities;
intercollegiate football, baseball, softball, volleyball,
and basketball games; and cross country, track and
field, golf, and tennis competitions.
Intramural competition provides an outlet for
many students. Among the men’s, women’s, and
coed intramural activities are archery, badminton,
basketball, bowling, softball, flag football,
swimming, track, table tennis, tennis, and
volleyball. In the local area, recreational
opportunities include boating, water skiing,
camping, cycling, fishing, golfing, hiking, horseback
riding, jogging, and weight training, as well as the
nearly limitless sightseeing that Kentucky’s historic
and scenic Bluegrass region offers. The University
dedicated during its May 1995 Commencement
program the William Exum Center, a nearly
$12,000,000, 123,000-square foot multipurpose
facility to meet the present and future University
needs for health, physical education, and recreation
programs. Available for University student use, the
William Exum Center contains four multipurpose
playing courts with electronic scoreboards and
spectator areas in its Gymnasium; an eight-lane
indoor swimming pool with an adjacent diving well;
four racquetball courts equipped with injury-
preventing “floating floors”; a fully equipped fitness
center with aerobic machines and weight training
equipment; a 2,000 square foot dance studio lined
with mirrored walls and bars; a gymnastics area
equipped with uneven bars, safety mats and belts;
and a second level jogging track suspended above
the gymnasium area.
Cultural experiences are considered an integral
part of a liberal studies education. Numerous
cultural events are scheduled throughout every
academic year-many by the University and many
by local organizations that use campus facilities for
events open to students as well as to the general
public.
Bradford Hall has practice rooms and rehearsal
halls available for instrumental and vocal
ensembles. The Bradford Hall Auditorium and Little
Theatre are available for concerts, lectures, and
10 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
plays. Art and photography exhibitions attended
by the public from Frankfort and the surrounding
area as well as by University students, faculty, and
staff are presented in Jackson Hall Gallery and
Blazer Library.
Public figures spanning the spectrum of political
and human endeavors appear often at Kentucky
State University. In recent years, these figures have
appeared at convocations or special events, and
they have included among others, poet Gwendolyn
Brooks; United States Senator William Proxmire;
actress Cicely Tyson; author Alex Haley; American
philosopher Mortimer Adler; UPI White House
Correspondent Helen Thomas; former Ms. America
Debbie Turner; Reverend Jessie Jackson; NAACP
executive director Benjamin Hooks; journalist and

Luther King, Jr.'s daughter Dr. Bernice King; and
social activist Bobby Seals. Most of the Frankfort
Arts Foundation's annual presentations which
include symphonic concerts, ballets, play
productions, and operas take place on the Kentucky
State University campus.
THE STATE CAPITAL: AN EXTENDED CAMPUS
Frankfort, the capital city of Kentucky and the
home of Kentucky State University, lies on the
western edge of the state’s Bluegrass region. The
city of 30,000, which is more than 200 years old,
grew along the banks of the Kentucky River in a
small valley bordered by limestone cliffs.
Preservation of historic structures throughout the
city adds to its picturesque quality. Easily accessible
by major highways, Frankfort is within a short drive
of Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati.
Frankfort's history is rich with familiar names and
events. Daniel and Rebecca Boone are buried in a
cemetery overlooking the city, just a few minutes’
walk from the Kentucky State University campus. In
the old Statehouse, Aaron Burr was brought before
a grand jury on the charge of treason. The Military
History Museum contains artifacts going back to
the Revolutionary War and Civil War periods. Old
houses at the Corner of Celebrities, located in the
city’s oldest residential neighborhood, have at
noes
different times been the residences of governors,
supreme court judges, senators, and other noted
statesmen. The Old Capitol Building is a finely
restored example of Greek Revival architecture and
the first public work by renowned architect Gideon
Shryock. Its marble double-spiral staircase is a
beautiful example of innovative design and superb
craftsmanship.
The Orlando Brown House, also designed by
Shryock, and Liberty Hall, built by statesman
John Brown, served as meeting places for such
famous figures as Zachary Taylor, James Monroe,
Andrew Jackson, and Theodore Roosevelt. These
two houses, along with the Glen Willis House,
provide the city with beautiful areas for public
receptions and with formal gardens along the river.
Today, offices of state government, the
University, and local organizations join together to
provide the city with places and events of interest.
Beautifully planted gardens at the new State Capitol
and throughout the city establish pleasant and
congenial surroundings. The Frankfort Arts
Foundation brings nationally recognized talent to
Frankfort for musical and theatrical productions.
Art galleries show works by the widely known late
local painter, Paul Sawyier, along with shows by
other nationally and locally known artists. The
Game Farm, established in 1944 by the State
Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, is only
three miles from downtown Frankfort. In addition
to its woods and lakes, which serve as rest and
feeding areas for migratory birds, almost all of
Kentucky’s native animal species are in residence.
Frankfort is a diverse community that offers
Kentucky State University students a variety of
opportunities for recreation and personal growth.
Students can choose to be a part of this community
in a variety of ways. It offers access to a rich
cultural and historical perspective while providing
avenues for involvement in civic and community
affairs.

THE LAND GRANT MISSION
Kentucky State University is one of seventeen
1890 Land Grant institutions that were mandated by
the Morrill Act of 1890 to conduct research, exten-
sion, and teaching in the food and agricultural sci-
ences. This fact enables Kentucky State University
to offer many opportunities for students interested
in learning more about the food and agricultural sci-
ences.
COMMUNITY RESEARCH SERVICE
Research responsibilities are assumed at the
University by the Community Research Service.
Research programs are administered by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Cooperative State
Research Education and Extension Service.
The mission of Kentucky State’s Community
Research Service is to help resolve agricultural,
economic, and social problems of the people of
Kentucky, especially those people with limited
resources living in rural and urban communities.
Currently, research is being conducted in four
broad areas: aquaculture and natural resources;
human nutrition, health, and home economics;
plant and soil science; and rural development.
Scientists with diversified educational backgrounds
as well as domestic and international experiences
are involved in outstanding research, including pro-
jects in warm- and cold-water fish production,
water quality, environmental toxicology, plant tis-
sue culture, integrated pest management, horticul-
ture, apiculture, and nutritional problems of the
elderly.
The Atwood Agricultural Research Facility hous-
es the principal laboratories and serves as the hub
for program activities. Augmenting this facility are
a research farm, greenhouses, and a fish hatch-
ery/pond complex - all designed to test theoretical
laboratory work under practical field conditions.
Students can participate in research projects as
laboratory assistants, and may earn academic cred-
it through cooperative education. Research partner-
ships with several state/federal agencies and pri-
vate industries have enhanced agency-sponsored
internship opportunities for students. KSU encour-
ages the participation of minorities and internation-
al students.
High school juniors and seniors participate in the
research program through the Research Extension
Apprenticeship Program, which provides exposure
to research and related career opportunities. An on-
campus U.S. Department of Agriculture liaison is
available to counsel students on national initiatives
and career opportunities in the food and agricultur-
12 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
al sciences. A scholarship is available to students
interested in Agricultural Science.
An aquaculture curriculum has been developed
to provide students classroom as well as experien-
tial learning about fish farming (fish nutrition, water
quality, and environmental management) and its
potential for economic development in Kentucky.
Details regarding the minor or master’s degree in
Aquaculture are available in the Division of
Mathematics and Sciences section of this
Catalogue.
COOPERATIVE EXTENSION PROGRAM
The Cooperative Extension System is a nation-
wide network established by Congress to extend
research-based knowledge and technology from
the laboratory to the community. A joint effort
between the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the
land grant University system, and the counties in
each state, Cooperative Extension is designed to
provide grassroots, not-for-credit educational pro-
grams in agriculture and natural resources, home
economics, community resource development,
consumer sciences, and family and youth develop-
ment.
Kentucky officially joined the partnership in 1916
and today has two land grant universities:
Kentucky State University and the University of
Kentucky. All land grant universities serve three pri-
mary functions: resident instruction, research, and
public service.
Since 1972, Kentucky State University’s
Cooperative Extension Program has fulfilled the
public service role by providing educational and
technical assistance to limited-resource families
and by meeting the needs of homemakers, farmers,
youth, the elderly, and many others.
Some Extension programs provide one-on-one
opportunities where paraprofessionals work direct-
ly with family members. One such program, the
Family Development and Management Program,
assisted limited-resource families in Kentucky in
saving more than $164,000 in household opera-
tions in a one-year period. Through another pro-
gram, the Small and Part-time Farmer Program,
farmers increased their income by an average of
$10,000 and improved their use of farm inputs.
Nearly 500 farm families increased their knowledge
of sustainable agriculture.
Other program initiatives (Family Financial
Education, Child and Youth Development,
Aquaculture, and Community Resource Develop-
ment) help families make better use of community
resources to lead healthier, happier lives.
To effectively reach its audience of limited-
resource Kentucky residents, the Extension
Program routinely seeks outside funding to aug-
ment its program resources. It has thus far obtained
more than $650,000 in outside funds to help farm-
ers and families increase the quality of their lives
and the efficiency and productivity of their eco-
nomic enterprises.
Each program is developed to meet a need
expressed at the local level and to help Kentuckians
deal effectively with the tasks of everyday living.
The payoff is evident in dollars saved, in more sat-
isfying relationships, and in more attractive homes
and communities.
Students at Kentucky State University can learn
more about Cooperative Extension as a career
choice through student work assignments, work-
study, and other student employment opportuni-
ties.
The Cooperative Extension Program is housed in
a state-of-the-art office/meeting complex that great-
ly assists staff in carrying out the mission of the
Extension System. Through the work opportunities
listed above, students are able to receive educa-
tional instruction not only in the specific program
areas of Extension, but in the broader areas of com-
munications specialties. Incorporated into the
Extension facility are the most modern technolo-
gies that enable the University to interact with
diverse audiences while never leaving campus.
Video, audio, and graphic technologies offer stu-
dents the opportunity to receive educational expe-
riences in the most current methods of individual
and mass communications.
NATIONAL CENTER FOR DIVERSITY
Changing demographics emphasize greater
awareness of diversity among people with respect
to age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender,
physical and mental ability, race, sexual orientation,
spiritual practice, and other human differences.
The Cooperative Extension System, through its
network of land grant universities, is dedicated to
promoting acceptance of diversity among people in
the system's workforce and clientele. The Center
began operation in 1992 and currently operates on
a fee-for-service basis. The Center’s mission states:
“We help people value differences and promote
positive human relationships by facilitating diversi-
ty education through local, state, and national part-
nerships with the Cooperative Extension System,
educational institutions, public and private sector
agencies, and community organizations.”
The CES National Center for Diversity was estab-
lished as a partnership between Cooperative
Extension organizations at Kentucky State
University, the University of Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania State University, and the Extension
Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Activities of the National Center for Diversity
include specialized diversity education and training
programs (including scheduled, public workshops);
consultation and technical assistance on diversity
issues; data collection on diversity initiatives and
program resources; and contractual services avail-
able to the public sector, education, governmental,
non-profit and profit organizations. Through diver-
sity educational programs conducted at the
Cooperative Extension Program Facility on the KSU
campus and at locations across the United States,
the CES National Center for Diversity works to
achieve its mission to enhance diversity and plural-
ism within the Cooperative Extension System and
other organizations.

THE CENTER OF EXCELLENCE
FOR THE STUDY OF
KENTUCKY AFRICAN AMERICANS
One part of Kentucky State University’s mission
is to be “the major repository for the collection of
books, records and artifacts relative to the history
and status of African American citizens in the
Commonwealth and elsewhere.” The Center of
Excellence for the Study of Kentucky African
Americans (CESKAA) was established in 1992 to
serve as the University’s primary vehicle for identi-
fying, collecting, preserving, and distributing infor-
mation and materials about Kentucky African
Americans and African heritage.
CESKAA exists as an institutionalized repository
and living community of memory to stress the
diversity, the richness, and the complexity of
Kentucky’s African American history and heritage.
Its programs of research and service, in coopera-
tion with other campus areas and external agen-
cies, are designed to enhance the liberal studies
mission of the University. Faculty and students help
identify areas in need of in-depth study.
CESKAA plays an important role, for the univer-
sity, local community, and the state in shaping,
14 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
designing, and developing research projects, cur-
riculum studies, cultural activities, and symposiums
that reflect topical areas significant in historical
studies and public policy issues concerning African
Americans.
The Center is located in Jackson Hall, the first
building constructed on the KSU campus. It main-
tains archival resources in Blazer Library and muse-
um quality exhibits in the Jackson Hall Gallery.
CESKAA exists so that researchers, scholars, teach-
ers, students, and others interested in African
American history, culture, social institutions, and
public policy have a place to come and use materi-
als about African Americans ranging from agricul-
ture and farm life to African American heritage sites
and urban life.
In the broadest sense, CESKAA exists so that all
of the people of Kentucky can learn and be
informed about the important contributions African
American citizens made to the development of the
Commonwealth, the nation, and the world.

UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES
Kentucky State University, an equal-opportunity
educational institution, does not discriminate in its
admissions policies on the basis of race, color, sex,
creed, disability, age, or national origin. Preference
is given to the admission of Kentucky residents at
the undergraduate level. Applications from out-of-
state residents are accepted for all curricula.
Application Forms. Application forms for admis-
sion to any undergraduate program are available at
the Office of Admissions, Kentucky State University,
400 East Main Street, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.
Applications for graduate school must be made to
the graduate schools directly.
Application Fee. A $15.00 processing fee ($65.00
for international applications), payable by check or
money order, must accompany all admission appli-

give promise of success in college. Secondary
school students planning to apply for admission to
KSU should emphasize the following school cours-
es: English, mathematics, history, and science.
They must also meet the University general admis-
sion requirements.
1. Index of 430 or greater. Kentucky State
University requires all admitted students to
meet an admission index in order to be admit-
ted unconditionally to the University. The index
was established to quantify an assessment of a
student's high school activities and ACT assess-
ment. The admissions index is a numerical
score calculated by multiplying the ACT by 10,
the grade-point average by 100, and by adding
the two sums. The equation is as follows: ACT
x 10 + GPA x 100 = index.
2. Official transcript sent directly to the Office of
Admissions by the school/college via the U.S.
16 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
Postal Service, Federal Express, United Parcel
Service, or electronically transmitted directly

al attainments are shown through testing to be
equivalent to those of a high school graduate. The
tests used include the General Educational
Development Test (GED), the American College Test
(ACT), and/or other tests recommended by the
University.
Early Admission. Students of high academic
promise may be admitted directly from the
eleventh grade without a diploma. The basic
requirements for early admission include:
1. Proper personal qualification;
2. Superior competence and preparation, evi-
denced by the high school record and college
aptitude test scores (ACT, SAT, or other tests
prescribed by the University); and
3. A letter from the high school principal assess-
ing the applicant’s emotional and social maturi-
ty and readiness for college.
Additional information on this procedure is avail-
able at the Admissions Office.
Advanced Standing and Credit. Prospective stu-
dents are advised to request from the Registrar’s
Office and/or the University Testing Office at
Kentucky State University information on the
Advanced Placement Program.
Entering students with superior preparation or
with competence in a specific area may qualify for
advanced placement or credit. Placement or credit
may be granted on the basis of Advanced
Placement Examination (AP Exams) of the College
Board, International Baccalaureate scores, College
Level Examination Program (CLEP), General and
Subject examinations, and other evidence of expe-
rience and competence.
Students transferring to Kentucky State
University who have received advanced placement
credits from another institution may be awarded
these credits insofar as Kentucky State’s require-
ments for awarding such credits are met.
Advanced placement credits may not be substitut-
ed for residency requirements.
Admission of Transfer Students. A satisfactory cit-
izenship record, a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00
on a 4.00 scale on all college work attempted, and
eligibility to re-enter the institution last attended are
required for transfer admission. Transfer applicants
who were not eligible for admission to Kentucky
State University when they graduated from high
school must present a minimum of 24 semester
hours of college credit. All transfer students who
have completed 24 or more semester hours of col-
lege work must have earned a cumulative’ GPA of
2.00.
Also a letter of good standing must be sent
directly by the registrar of the college last attended
(may be sent with official transcript).
Official college transcripts may be faxed directly
to the Office of Admissions from the institution.
The transfer student is not at liberty to disregard
any part of his/her previous college or university
records. Failure to report enrollment at another
institution may result in dismissal and/or loss of
credits earned at KSU. In the event of academic
suspension/dismissal from any institution previous-
ly attended or currently being attended, an appli-
cant must provide a letter of good standing from
the last institution attended. Credits earned from a
non-accredited institution will not count toward the
degree but will be evaluated in the same manner as
those earned at an accredited institution. However,
final acceptance of such credits is contingent upon
the equivalent of one semester of full-time study
(12 or more semester credit hours) with a cumula-
tive GPA of 2.0 or above for all course work
attempted.
A transfer letter of recommendation must be
sent by the Dean of Students or the Vice President
of Student Affairs regarding the student's
social/disciplinary status at the previous college or
university attended. This letter may be faxed to the
Admissions Office from the sending institution.
Entrance examinations may be required of appli-
cants transferring into Kentucky State University.
Admission of Transient/Visiting Students (Non-
Degree Candidates). A student in good standing in
an accredited college may be admitted to the
University as a Transient/Visiting student. To be eli-
gible for consideration, an applicant must submit an
application, a letter of good standing, and a $15.00
application fee. 4
Transient status does not constitute admission or
matriculation as a degree candidate. The transient
is, however, subject to the same fees and regula-
tions as a regular student except for the continua-
tion-in-residence requirements.
Conditional Admission. Applicants who do not
meet general admission requirements for freshmen
but who are judged to have potential for success
may be approved for conditional admission.
Admission of International Students. The
University welcomes admission inquiries from
international students. The international student
should be proficient in English. In all cases, English
proficiency is determined by satisfactory results on
the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL),
offered by the Educational Testing Service, Box
899, Princeton, N.J. 08540, U.S.A.
The international student must submit an appli-
cation for admission, and the application must be
accompanied by an application fee of $65.00 (non-
refundable). The applicant must present satisfacto-
ry academic credentials, test results, and evidence
that he/she has sufficient funds to meet college
expenses. There is no financial assistance for
undergraduate international students. Once all
requirements have been met, the applicant will be
sent an acceptance letter and form |-20-the autho-
rization for a student visa.
Readmission. Students who have previously
attended Kentucky State University and who wish
to re-enter must secure readmission from the
Registrar’s Office. Former students who have
attended another college for at least one semester
must be eligible to re-enter that institution if they
desire to return to KSU. The student who attended
another institution for one semester must have
earned an overall average of C or better since last
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 17
attending Kentucky State to be eligible to re-enter
KSU. He/she must supply the Registrar’s Office with
a transcript from the institution attended.
Graduate Programs and Select Majors. Admission
to graduate standing is granted by the Graduate
Programs only. Please contact the School of Public
Administration or the College of Arts and Sciences
for admission criteria.
Several programs have specific academic
requirements which must be satisfied before a stu-
dent can declare a major. Each student should con-
tact the appropriate academic unit prior to declar-
ing a major in one of these areas (Nursing and the
Whitney M. Young, Jr. College of Leadership
Studies).
Senior Citizens. Kentucky residents, age 65 or
older may complete the application procedure and
be admitted to the University and have all tuition
and fees waived. The University may limit the
enrollment of these students if classes are filled or
if their admission necessitates additional classes.
Home Schooling and Non-Degree-Seeking
Admission. Each applicant should contact the
office of Admissions for information about admis-
sion from home schooling and non-degree pro-
grams.

LIBERAL STUDIES
AND THE UNIVERSITY
Kentucky State University is the Common-
wealth’s unique public liberal studies institution.
‘Liberal studies comprise the traditional subjects
of the arts and sciences, such as mathematics,
poetry, history, politics, literature, languages, fine
arts, philosophy, psychology, chemistry, and eco-
nomics.
Subject matter alone, however, exhausts neither
the meaning of liberal studies nor of a liberal stud-
ies education. A liberal studies education and
preparation for a career or a profession are obvi-
ously not mutually exclusive. Whether one is a pre-
engineering or an English major, a pre-medical or
pre-law student, a computer science student or
someone interested in a career in teacher education
or business management, Kentucky State
University best serves those students, who, regard-
less of their long-range goals, seek to think for
themselves. Such students are those who wish to
think clearly, to argue persuasively, to write with
clarity and liveliness, and to gain both a cultural and
historical perspective on the human experience as
well as an in-depth knowledge in at least one area
of human thought. Liberal studies spark curiosity
and broaden vision. Liberal studies education pro-
vides the tools by which people come to under-
stand the world, one another, and themselves.
In short, liberal studies develops independent
and critical thinking. More critical than the develop-
ment of specialized skills, the development of inde-
pendent thinking is the foundation for personal
growth. The possession of specific skills, however
important they may be, is insufficient if one is
Ry
unable to confront life changes with resourceful-
ness and clarity of thought. Job skills change with
the passing of time and the shifting demands of
industry; however, the ability to think for oneself is
the governing resource of truly educated individu-
als.
In a 1983 speech at Kentucky State University,
Edwin Delattre, then president of St. John’s
College, spoke of the power of liberal education in
these words:
Minds can be shackled by laws against
education, by parental indifference, by propa-
ganda, by distinction, and in a thousand other
ways. Worst of all, people can enslave,
enshackle, victimize their own minds, without
any help from anyone else. It happens all the
time, and you can see the marks, the wounds
and scars, of these shackles every day, every-
where, if you know what to look for. It is often
very hard, though, to see or feel these shack-
les inside oneself.
Liberal education-liberating education-is
the kind which ferrets out these shackles,
seeks to open them where they exist, and pre-
vent them where they do not.
Education of this sort must be earned, because it
comes with persistence and effort. Ultimately, lib-
eral studies requires the courage to follow a ques-
tion persistently and resourcefully wherever it
might lead. At Kentucky State University, education
is the daily pursuit of intellectual and moral maturi-
ty by students, faculty, and staff.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 19
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Kentucky State University serves many ends and
many needs, but the true test of an institution's
quality is whether its graduates have learned to
think for themselves. St. Augustine paid his educa-
tion the compliment of saying that, as a result of it,
he could read anything that was written, under-
stand anything that he heard, and say anything he
thought. There can be no higher praise.
Every baccalaureate degree program at the
University is designed to provide students with a
sound liberal studies education and the more spe-
cialized skills that derive from disciplined study of
individual subject matter. Together, the University's
Liberal Studies Requirements and specific academ-
ic degree requirements provide each student with
an education earning for itself the praise that St.
Augustine paid to his own education.
UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENTS
Each student who enters Kentucky State
University with the intention to earn a baccalaure-
ate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies
Requirements. Liberal studies courses serve as a
foundation for many other courses. Therefore, stu-
dents are strongly encouraged to complete these
courses in accordance with the appropriate curricu-
lum ladder. In addition to the requirements of the
student's major field of study, Liberal Studies
Requirements constitute a carefully designed pro-
gram of 53/54 semester credit hours of courses to
be selected from the various academic offerings of
the University. An important feature of these
requirements is the sequence of Integrative Studies
courses. Details of the Integrative Studies program
may be found in the section of this Catalogue
describing the Whitney M. Young, Jr. College of
Leadership Studies. A number of electives are
included in the Liberal Studies Requirements, and
students are encouraged to consider carefully the
alternatives available to them.
The course of studies in the first two years of the
Whitney M. Young, Jr. College of Leadership
Studies (48 semester credit hours) provides an
alternate and brief way of fulfilling all of the
University's Liberal Studies Requirements. Math
and science majors complete only the seminars
and language tutorials; courses from the College of
Arts and Sciences fulfill the math/science compo-
nent of the core. (Students who pursue this option
must still meet the minimum number of hours
required in a major for graduation.) Students trans-
ferring in courses as substitutes or equivalents
must have the approval of the Office of the
20 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
Registrar. (Major core transfer courses are
approved in the major departments.)
Certain Liberal Studies Requirements may also
be fulfilled through the University's testing pro-
grams or other testing programs. For a listing of
courses and the tests through which semester cred-
it hours may be earned, see the catalogue section
on Credit by Examination/Certification and Credit
for Life Experience.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Students intending to earn either a baccalaureate
or an associate degree must satisfy the specific
requirements stipulated by the various academic
degree programs. Only baccalaureate degree-seek-
ing students must satisfy all the Liberal Studies
Requirements; associate degree-seeking students
must complete a minimum of 15 semester credit
hours of selected courses within the Liberal Studies
Requirements.
Academic requirements vary in the number of
semester credit hours designated for particular
degree programs. Details of these requirements
may be found in this Catalogue under the relevant
academic unit headings. Students are expected to
seek the advice of advisors in determining their
course of study at the University; and they should
also follow a specific degree audit plan.
Ladder curricula included in this Catalogue are
suggestions and are meant to serve as guides for
assisting students in planning their academic
careers. For specific degree requirements, consult
the narrative section under each program.
Students are encouraged to take advantage of
the University’s diverse curricular offerings before
declaring an official major. However, once a major
has been declared, students may not change their
official majors later than the beginning of the first
semester of their senior year for baccalaureate
degree programs and the beginning of the first
semester of their sophomore year for associate
degree programs. At least one-half of a student’s
major field academic course credits must be earned
at Kentucky State University. A student must com-
plete the final 32 semester credit hours of a bac-
calaureate degree program or the final 16 semester
credit hours of an associate degree program at
Kentucky State University to qualify for a degree
from the University.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS AND GRADUATION
To earn a degree from Kentucky State University,
students must satisfy both specific academic pro-
gram and University course requirements. In addi-
tion, they must maintain good academic standing
(GPA of 2.0 or better) as defined in the University’s
Academic Regulations and Policies. These regula-
tions and policies are set forth elsewhere in this
Catalogue, and students are expected to abide by
them. Students are also required to take and pass a
Rising Junior Assessment by the time they have
earned 60 semester hours of collegiate level cred-
its. Baccalaureate degree-seeking students must
take the Rising Junior Assessment prior to register-
ing for further courses. Students must pass all sec-
tions of the Assessment by the time they have
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 21
earned 96 semester hours. Students required to
take remedial course work in reading, composition,
or mathematics should not expect to complete
their baccalaureate degree requirements within the
traditional period of four undergraduate academic
years. Summer session course work and possibly
an additional academic semester's course work
may be required in such cases. Every student is
encouraged to work closely with his/her advisor.
CLASS SCHEDULING POLICY
Kentucky State University follows a comprehen-
sive plan that governs the offering of courses on a
long-term basis. The University’s Nine-Semester
Schedule of Courses permits students and their
advisors to develop an effective plan which identi-
fies when required and elective courses may be
taken. In general, all upper-division courses (elec-
tive or required), necessary to complete undergrad-
uate degree requirements for a program, shall be
offered at least once every two academic years.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS
Kentucky State University offers preparatory pro-
grams for students intending to enter the fields of
medicine, dentistry, law, engineering, optometry,
pharmacy, veterinary medicine, community health,
cytotechnology, clinical laboratory sciences,
nuclear medicine technology, and physical therapy.
Most of these programs are housed in various divi-
sions of the College of Arts and Sciences and in the
Whitney Young College. The requirements for a
pre-law curriculum can be fulfilled by a strong
major, such as English or Political Science, which
are housed in the College of Arts and Sciences, or
Liberal Studies pre-law option, which is housed in
the Whitney Young College.
In addition to preparing students for entrance
into the professional schools of their choice,
Kentucky residents attending Kentucky State
University and meeting certain requirements, will
be eligible for three percent of the openings annu-
ally at Kentucky’s publicly-supported law, medical,
and dental schools. Students interested in any of
the above professional areas should contact the
University’s pre-professional program advisors
through the College of Arts and Sciences.
Information regarding veterinary medicine may be
found in the section of this Catalogue describing
the Division of Mathematics and Sciences.
ACADEMIC HONORS
The University encourages high standards of
academic excellence and acknowledges students’
academic achievement. An Academic Honor Roll
and Dean's List are published at the end of each
22 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
academic semester. A student who earns 12 or
more semester credit hours for which quality points
are awarded and whose grade-point average is 3.2
or better, will be included on the Dean’s List.
Part-time (at least one-half time) students are
given special recognition for academic achieve-
ment. Students enrolled for 6 to 11 semester cred-
it hours in which quality points are earned and
whose grade-point average is 3.2 or better, will be
included on the Academic Honor Roll.
GRADUATION HONORS
Students who maintain a cumulative grade-point
average of at least 3.2 are awarded the baccalaure-
ate degree cum /aude. Students who maintain a
cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.5 and
who have received no grade of “D” or “F” are
awarded the baccalaureate degree magna cum
laude. Finally, students who maintain a cumulative
grade-point average of at least 3.8 and who have
received no grades of “D” or “F” are awarded the
baccalaureate degree summa cum laude.
Graduation honors are awarded only to those stu-
dents who have earned at least 64 semester credit
hours at Kentucky State University.
The baccalaureate degree or the associate
degree with departmental honors will be conferred
upon the student who, in addition to having com-
pleted the requirements for the degree, shall have
maintained a cumulative grade-point average of at
least 3.0 and a grade-point average of at least 3.3 in
courses required for the major. In computing acad-
emic major grade-point averages, all courses taken
in a major will be counted. To be considered for
academic program honors, one or two years of res-
idence work at Kentucky State University are
required of associate or baccalaureate degree
recipients, respectively, with at least half of the
major courses taken at the University.
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM
Cooperative education at Kentucky State
University is an academic program incorporating
alternating and parallel periods of employment and
classroom study. This educational process is a joint
or cooperative effort on the part of the Cooperative
Education Office, the faculty instructing the student,
and the employer furnishing opportunities for prac-
tical applications of the student's class work.
Students are limited to a maximum of twelve hours
in cooperative education courses for their academ-
ic career at KSU.
Cooperative education helps the student bridge
the gap between the classroom and the workplace,
and it allows the student to observe and participate
in practical applications of course work.
Cooperative education enables students to be more
valuable contributors upon returning to the class-
room; they gain self-confidence and become more
involved in the educational process. Full-time
employment is of significant financial benefit to the
student and is valuable in adding to the student’s
credentials for employment. Upon graduation, the
co-op student has a decided edge in competing for
professional positions.
The University believes that supervised work
experience is worth college credit; therefore, upon
successful completion of each semester of work
experience, semester credit hours are awarded.
Cooperative education courses will not be substi-
tuted for mandatory classes in the student’s major.
The Cooperative Education Program seeks to
meet the needs of students in most academic disci-
plines offered at Kentucky State University.
Therefore, the program is offered to all students
after the completion of one full academic year of
course work (30 semester credit hours minimum).
Participating students are expected to be in good
standing with the University and have a cumulative
grade-point average of 2.0 or better. Students may
earn no more than twelve (12) semester credit
hours in Cooperative Education courses (including
both associate and baccalaureate degrees) during
their tenure at KSU. In order to register for
Cooperative Education credit, students must sub-
mit an application to the Office of Cooperative
Education in advance of the term (summer ses-
sion/semester) during which they wish to co-op.
It is recommended that each student take the
time to visit the Cooperative Education Office and
meet with staff to discuss available opportunities.
INDEPENDENT STUDY
A student may take a course as an Independent
Study if special circumstances warrant. A student
will be allowed to pursue an Independent Study
only with a proven record of academic achieve-
ment. Independent Study shall be used only in
cases of unavoidable course conflict.
FOREIGN STUDY
Kentucky State University offers opportunities
for foreign study to qualified students. Students
may take advantage of programs allowing them to
pursue their major at prestigious universities in
other countries. As a member of the Cooperative
Center for Study in Britain, the University offers the
following: a summer term, a junior year abroad,
and a fall semester in Oxford. In addition, a
December-January interim program is available at
King’s College of the University of London.
Opportunities for study may also be available in
several other foreign locations, including Italy,
Mexico, Puerto Rico, South America, and
Scandinavia.
To qualify, students must have a 3.0 cumulative
grade-point average, and must fulfill the foreign lan-
guage portion of the University’s Liberal Studies
Requirements. With the aid of an advisor, the stu-
dent will design a program of study that will then be
reviewed by the Office of Academic Affairs and,
upon approval, submitted to the Office of the
President. Additional information on Study Abroad
Programs is available at the Office of Academic
Affairs.
STUDENT EXCHANGE
Participation in an exchange program increases a
student's access to a variety of educational pro-
grams and experiences. Such programs permit stu-
dents to take courses, meet other students, and
study under professors not available to them in
their home institution. Taking part in an exchange
program can be an intellectually and culturally
enriching experience. Students interested in partic-
ipating in an exchange program should contact the
Office of Academic Affairs.
THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
Learning to organize and carry out independent
research is an integral part of a university liberal
studies education. The Paul G. Blazer Library, locat-
ed at the northeast end of the campus, provides
comprehensive and current research materials and
facilities for students and faculty. The university
community is also encouraged to use Blazer Library
for personal enrichment and leisure reading.
Blazer Library’s collection of more than 600,000
volumes includes materials such as books, micro-
forms, cartographic materials, films and other
audiovisual materials, and machine-readable mate-
rials to aid students in their course work and
research.

vides access to over fifty databases on various sub-
jects. In addition, the Library has access to SIRS
Researcher, African-American Biographical
Database, Reference Center Gold, Ethnic
Newswatch, Academic ASAP, and General Business
File ASAP through the Internet.
Like all other state supported academic institu-
tions in Kentucky, Blazer Library uses Voyager by
Endeavor as its library management system.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 23
Anyone with web access can search Blazer
Library’s catalog at http://kysu.kcvl.org. The Library
has thirty-three computers for public use. From the
Library’s homepage, users can access Internet
resources, electronic databases, catalogs from
other libraries, as well as order materials via inter-
library loan.
Inter-library Loan is a service provided by the
Reference Department of Blazer Library to the fac-
ulty, staff, and students engaged in research at
Kentucky State University. Conditions of this service
are set by the Inter-library Loan Code of the
American Library Association and by regulations of
the individual lending libraries. Every effort will be
made to obtain items free of charge. Frequently,
however, materials can be obtained only from insti-
tutions that charge an inter-library loan fee. When
submitting an ILL request, patrons should state the
maximum charges they are willing to accept.
Printed inter-library loan request forms are located
at the reference desk. An electronic form may be
found on the library's homepage.
Blazer Library is a selective depository for United
States Government Document Publications. The
library has an expanding collection of books, peri-
odicals, microfilm, maps, posters, CD-ROMs and
videos published by federal government agencies.
There is a growing collection of state documents as
well.
The second floor of the library houses the
Special Collections and the University Archives,
which contain rare and historical documents and
publications relating to African-American culture
and history as well as University archival materials.
The Curriculum and Instructional Media Center
(CIMC), located on the ground floor, provides stu-
dents with audiovisual equipment and various
types of educational and curricular material and
professional resources for teaching grades pre-
school through 12. The Center's satellite, equipped
with both Ku and C bands, provides access to
national teleconferences and educational program-
ming.
Professional librarians and support personnel are
available to assist students in using the library's
resources and facilities. Library information may be
obtained by request from library staff or by con-
sulting the Library Handbook, which is available at
service desks throughout the library. Special library
tours or individualized library instruction may be
scheduled by contacting the Library Office.
VETERANS' EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS
Students who wish to avail themselves of veter-
ans’ educational benefits while attending Kentucky
State University should first contact the Department
24 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
of Veterans Affairs Regional Office, RO. Box 66830,
St. Louis, MO, 63166-6830 to confirm their eligibili-
ty. All eligible veterans and their dependents who
have been admitted to a degree-granting program
within the University should contact the Veterans
Administration certifying official on campus in the
Office of the Registrar, Room 323, Academic
Services Building. Students who have already
applied for federal or state benefit programs should
bring their certificates showing entitlement and/or
eligibility. Students should be aware that the pro-
cessing time for benefit checks is a minimum of five
to eight weeks once Veterans Administration
receives their certifications. Therefore, students
should be prepared to pay for their initial tuition and
textbook expenses until the benefit checks arrive. It
is the student’s responsibility to notify the campus
certifying official of any changes in his or her sched-
ule during any given semester for which he or she
is receiving educational benefits. Failure to do so
may result in an overpayment, and the student may
be charged with a debt to the United States
Government.
MILITARY SCIENCE PROGRAM
ARMY ROTC
Kentucky State University has entered into a
partnership agreement with the Army Reserve
Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program at the
University of Kentucky. Currently only AMS 102 and
AMS 103 are offered on the KSU campus; all other
Military Science classes are taught at the University
of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky. Students who
wish to participate in the ROTC program receive
ROTC scholarship assistance, become commis-
sioned as second lieutenants in the United States
Army, and may attend the Military Science program
at the University of Kentucky through this partner-
ship agreement. Participating students must pro-
vide their own transportation to the University of
Kentucky for Military Science classes that are not
taught on the KSU campus as well as other ROTC
activities.
The Military Science Program is open to both
men and women and follows a general military sci-
ence curriculum. Three- and two-year ROTC schol-
arships are available on an equally competitive
basis to qualified freshmen and sophomores.
These scholarships pay all tuition and required fees
up to $8,000 or 80% of the combined total of tuition
and required fees for costs over $8,000. The schol-
arship students also receive a $100 monthly
stipend. A military obligation is incurred in
exchange for the scholarship funds. Minimum
courses required and credit hours for each are list-
ed in the course description section of this
Catalogue under the Army Military Studies (AMS)
course prefix.
Students interested in the Army ROTC Program
should contact the KSU ROTC office in the
Academic Services Building or write to the
Professor of Military Science, University of
Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506 for further informa-
tion.
AIR FORCE ROTC
Kentucky State University, in cooperation with
the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (Air
Force ROTC) detachment at the University of
Kentucky, offers a two-, three-, or four-year Air
Force ROTC program. These programs allow quali-
fied students an opportunity to earn commissions
as officers in active duty in the U.S. Air Force while
completing the requirement for a degree in their
chosen field. The Air Force ROTC courses are
offered on the campus of the University of
Kentucky. Students are responsible for their own
transportation. Students attend classes at the
University of Kentucky (UK) while enrolling for all
other courses at Kentucky State University.
Interested students should contact the AFROTC
office at UK at (606) 257-7115 for enrollment infor-
mation.
Upon graduation from KSU and completion of
either the two-, three-, or four-year Air Force ROTC
program, students are commissioned as active
duty second lieutenants in the United States Air
Force.
Scholarships are available to qualified students
who enroll in the Air Force ROTC program. These
scholarships provide full payment of tuition, labora-
tory fees, an allowance for books, and a tax-free
monthly subsistence allowance.

not be accepted. The student should consult with
an advisor or dean and complete a “KSU Student
Visiting Another Institution” form from the Office of
the Registrar before enrolling at another institution.
It is the student's responsibility to arrange for offi-
cial transcripts of transfer work to be sent to the
Office of the Registrar at KSU at the end of the term
in which the student attended the other institution.
Students must be in good academic standing with
a GPA of 2.0 or better; freshmen may have a GPA of
1.8 or better.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES
The University supports its academic programs
with a variety of Academic Support Services.
These services include Upward Bound, Testing,
Academic Advising, the Communication Skills
Center (CSC), and the Peers Empowering Peers
Program (PEP). Upward Bound, a federally-funded
program, identifies and selects high school stu-
dents and prepares them for college-level course
work. The Office of Testing administers all
University and select national examinations. The
CSC and PEP provide all KSU students with acade-
mic assistance and personalized skill development
in writing, reading, study and test- taking strategies,
testing, note-taking, time management, math, sci-
ences, and languages. Though the CSC and PEP do
not offer formal classes or grant academic credit to
students, they are key academic support units at
the University. The philosophy of the CSC and PEP
is that their staff should personally guide students
in the acquisition and refinement of skills rather
than simply provide “plug-in,” skill/drill, pre-pack-
aged modules in reading, writing, math, science,
foreign language, and study skills mechanics. The
staff provide planned, quality instruction which
allows students to begin at their own individual
level of competence and advance according to their
abilities. The CSC and PEP offer campus-wide
instruction based on the personal goals and objec-
tives of students seeking assistance. Located in
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 25
Hathaway Hall, the CSC (HH 101) and PEP (HH 102)
are free, non-credit, learning assistance services for
full- and part-time students. Interested students
should call the Center for more information or to
make an appointment.
COMPUTING OPPORTUNITIES
Kentucky State University is committed to estab-
lishing and maintaining a communications and
information system which will provide students,
faculty, staff, and administrators with sufficient
computing resources to achieve learning, instruc-
tional, and administrative goals. The University rec-
ognizes the increasing role of computers in all dis-
ciplines today, and seeks to meet the challenge of
providing an environment in which students can
utilize computers as tools in any field of study. The
University has established a campus-wide fiber-
optic network of desktop computers.
The central computing facility is located on the
third floor of the Academic Services Building. The
facility houses two 9221 mainframe computers;
one is dedicated to administrative computing, and
one is dedicated to academic computing. Two sys-
tems are available on the academic mainframe
computer:
1. The University’s automated library system.
2. Computer language compilers such as
ASSEMBLER, COBOL, and RPG.
The central computing facility is also the hub for
all campus network activity. A faculty/staff comput-
er lab exists for administrative support as well as
for evaluating and testing new software and hard-
ware technologies. Training is also conducted in
this lab for all faculty and staff.
Desktop computers have become an integral
part of required courses for many of the
University’s degree programs. Many degree pro-
grams have established departmental computer
labs to provide practical computer experience
beyond the classroom. Programs such as business,
public affairs, computer sciences, behavioral and
social sciences, education, nursing, applied human
sciences, and English have computer laboratories
for teaching-related applications. Industrial
Technology has a computer laboratory to support
computer-aided drafting and experimental robotics.
There are three student labs on campus available
to students in any academic program. One is locat-
ed in the University’s Blazer Library, one is located
in the Exum building, and the other is located in the
Student Center. The computer lab is designed to
help students with their homework and class
preparation. Students can use word processing,
spreadsheet, and database software to complete
homework assignments. There is also a computer
26 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
lab in the Communication Skills Center. Additional
desktop computers are located in the residence
halls and are available on a 24-hour basis for stu-
dents residing on campus.
Through its campus network Kentucky State
University provides access to the Internet for both
faculty and students. The University also provides
electronic communication through the use of E-
mail for messages both on and off campus.
Kentucky State University has installed a state-
of-the-art video broadcast system for use with
classroom instruction. The University also has two
telecommunications conference rooms equipped
with satellite up-link and down-link capabilities.
These conference rooms are used for video confer-
ences and distance learning.
INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY
Both on- and off-campus students benefit by
Instructional Technology. Kentucky State Univer-
sity’s Electronic Campus Delivery (ECD) system is
the state-of-the-art video broadcast system for use
with classroom instruction. Satellite and phone line
capabilities provide for teleconferencing for class-
es, professional development, and video confer-
ences.
Distance Learning.
Kentucky State University realizes that it is not
always convenient for many students to study at
the main campus in Frankfort because of job and
family responsibilities. Students now have three
options for taking courses at a distance:
1. Interactive (ITV-two-way video)
2. Online (Virtual University)
3. Video telecourses (KET)
Interactive. Interactive courses are attractive to stu-
dents because they save time and travel expenses
for those who do not live in Frankfort. Not only do
students at remote sites see and talk to the instruc-
tor and one another, but videos, slides, and CDs can
be transmitted. Most interactive classrooms are
located in high schools and technical colleges/cen-
ters. Students see, hear, and talk with the instructor
on a large TV monitor as the instructor teaches
from KSU's central campus in Frankfort.
Interested students should check the “Off-
Campus & Interactive TV” listings in the KSU
Semester Schedule.
Online Courses (Virtual University)
Students with dependable access to the Internet
may choose to take courses presented totally or
partially online. Both on- and off-campus students
are encouraged to participate in this new approach
to learning. These “virtual” classes are presented
either through the Kentucky Commonwealth Virtual
University (KCVU) or directly by KSU. Each of these
courses is accessible at all times through the
Internet, allowing the student the opportunity to
choose when and where to study, instead of being
required to attend regularly scheduled classes on
campus.
Students taking online courses are responsible
for their own learning and participation. Online
courses require students to participate in E-mail
postings and threaded discussions. Instead of tradi-
tional lectures, the course material may be present-
ed in a variety of ways: through a combination of
outlines, WWW links, textbook materials, and, on
occasion, chat rooms with the instructor present.
Tests are also scheduled to be taken online.
Interested students should look for online “virtu-
al” course listings in the KSU Schedule of Classes.
KET Telecourses. Every semester KSU awards col-
lege credit for video telecourses transmitted over
the Kentucky Educational Television (KET) network.
Students watch the courses on TV at home rather
than in a classroom on the KSU campus. A trip to
the central campus for an initial orientation session
is required, and some courses require testing on
campus. Most courses air once a week for one
hour. Students should be aware that telecourses
require as much work as traditional courses.
Interested students should see the KET
Telecourse listings in the KSU Schedule of Classes.
FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE (FYE) PROGRAM
A university education is an investment with pay-
offs which can be realized from the beginning. New
found freedom and responsibility give students
their first taste of the power of adulthood. Students
are asked to devote much time, diligence, and
native intelligence to make the investment worth-
while. However, for new “investors,” the experience
can be overwhelming. The First-Year Experience
(FYE) Program is dedicated to guiding new students
to choices that will make their educational careers
safe, successful, and satisfactory. FYE is here to
help you achieve maximum returns on your invest-
ment. Our Counselors are available to help you set
realistic academic and personal goals, listen to your
concerns, and guide you in finding the resources
and assistance you need.
FYE works in collaboration with many other
offices and units on campus to put you in touch
with the support you need. To name just a few,
Instructional Counselors in the Communication
Skills Center (CSC) are prepared to assist you with
enhancing your reading, writing, time manage-
ment, and study skills; the Director of the Office of
Academic Advising is dedicated to assigning you
an advisor who best suits your needs, and the
Director and staff of the Office of Financial Aid want
to help you find affordable solutions for funding
your university experience.
FYE provides peer tutors through the Peers
Empowering Peers (PEP) Program to help you meet
the challenges you will face in math, Spanish, biol-
ogy, chemistry, accounting, French, and computer
science.
FYE's UNV 101 course takes you on a journey of
discovery where you will become familiar with all of
the services KSU has to offer ensuring that your
transition to university life is a smooth one.
Your investment of time and energy, and your
commitment to education is one of the best you will
ever make. Kentucky State University has imple-
mented the First-Year Experience Program to assist
you in making it a successful and rewarding invest-
ment. Students interested in obtaining more infor-
mation should contact the Director of the First-Year
Experience in Hathaway Hall 102, at (502) 597-6217.

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT SYSTEM
Kentucky State University provides a full range of
academic advising and personal counseling
services to students. Every effort is made to ensure
that each student receives personal attention and
assistance with his/her problems and concerns.
Students, however, are expected to take the
initiative to seek any needed assistance.
Academic advising at Kentucky State University
begins with new Student Orientation.
Subsequently, students are assigned a general
education or a major advisor according to the
following criteria:
1. New degree-seeking students (Associate or
Baccalaureate) who declare a major at the point
of admission to the University are assigned a
“Major Advisor” within their chosen fields of
study (See definition below).
2. New degree-seeking students (Associate or
Baccalaureate) who choose not to declare a
major at the point of admission but plan to
pursue a degree are listed as “undeclared” and
are assigned faculty and staff advisors who are
prepared to meet students' advising needs.
Students may stay with their advisors until they
complete 60 semester credit hours and declare
28 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
a major, at which time they are assigned to a
Major Advisor. >
3. Non-degree-seeking students (Visiting/
Transient) are advised by the personnel in the
Office of Admissions.
General education advisors are experienced
faculty and staff who have demonstrated
continuing commitment to the importance of
providing students with personal attention and
guidance in the planning and pursuit of their
academic objectives. Advisors are typically
responsible for approximately 20-25 students who
are listed as “undeclared.”
Major advisors, just as general education
advisors, provide academic and career advice to
each student who has selected a major area of
study in preparation for a career of the student's
choice. The major advisor serves as a useful source
of information regarding such matters as degree
requirements, research opportunities within the
field, graduate study, and other career employment
opportunities. From their first day at Kentucky State
University, students are encouraged to take an
active part in their learning. Early and sustained
interaction with advisors is a good beginning.
GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE
. GENERAL EDUCATION TRANSFER
POLICY
I. Introduction
Following adoption by the Kentucky Council on
Postsecondary Education of a policy for the transfer
of general education credits at public colleges and
universities in the Commonwealth, a committee
was established to oversee the implementation of
the policy. These Guidelines represent a condensa-
tion of the Council's policy and attempt to address
frequently asked questions. The Guidelines should
assist students and their academic advisors in plan-
ning programs of study.
To participate fully at the program level, students
must be graduates of Associate in Arts/Associate in
Science (AA/AS) transfer programs which contain
48 hours, including the Core Transfer Component,
of lower-division general education, or complete 60
hours of study which meet the same conditions.
The Core Transfer Component represents com-
mon elements of current general education pro-
grams at Kentucky institutions. Students will bene-
fit to the extent that their program of study reflects
the composition of the Core Transfer Component or
individual categories in the Component. Graduates
of Associate in Applied Science (AAS) programs
will participate in this transfer policy by comparing
the Core Transfer Component to their respective
programs of study.
The Policy on General Education Transfer was
established to:
- Emphasize those aspects of general education
requirements which are common among public
institutions in Kentucky, and to encourage com-
pletion of approved AA/AS transfer programs;
-Promote the acceptability of general
education credits as students transfer from one
public institution to another;
- Enhance cooperation among institutions with
respect to academic advising for undergradu-
ates who plan to transfer from one public insti-
tution to another; and
- Serve as a framework for developing pre-
major transfer programs for specific majors.
ll. Basic Assumptions and Principles
1. The transfer of general education credits is
predicated on the acquisition of competen-
cies in broad academic areas rather than on
a comparison of individual courses taken at
one institution or another. The issue is not
how particular general education courses at
the sending institution match up with gener-
al education courses at the.receiving institu-
tion, but how the competencies in various
general education programs are similar to
one another. Universities will recognize the
completion of a Council-approved AA/AS
transfer degree by admitting students to
junior-level standing and accepting the cor-
responding general education credits as
meeting institution-wide lower-division gen-
eral education requirements at the receiving
institution. Students are encouraged to com-
plete an approved AA/AS transfer program
prior to transferring.
. Each institution recognizes the professional
integrity of all other public institutions in the
acceptance of their general education pro-
gram.
. The General Education Transfer Policy is
limited to lower division requirements and
applies only to transfer students (as distinct
from transient students).
. The general education requirements covered
in this policy are not intended to fulfill gener-
al education requirements for particular
majors. Specifically, the general education
requirements of a specific major will not be
set aside by this policy. This is a most impor-
tant distinction and should be noted by stu-
dents and their advisors.
. When fully implemented, the transfer system
at all institutions will include an audit process
through which the sending institution will
certify to the receiving institution the general
education categories which the student has
completed.
. Close cooperation and communication
among colleges and universities will be
established to facilitate the transfer process
for students and to enable the participating
institutions to maintain timely and compre-
hensive information. Particular attention will
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 29
be paid to academic advising on each cam-
pus and to interaction among campuses in
order to inform students about the nuances
of general education requirements at the var-
ious institutions.
7. Each receiving institution will provide a
process for students to appeal decisions
related to the transfer of general education
credits.
8.The General Education Transfer Policy
became effective at the beginning of the
spring term in 1996. Students transferring
after this date may request an audit from the
sending institution.
lll. Certification of General Education Blocks
1. Fully Certified. Students who have complet-
ed a general education program of 48
semester hours which includes the 33-hour
Core Transfer Component (see below), have
received an approved AA or AS transfer
degree, or have earned sixty hours of under-
graduate credits and hold a cumulative GPA
of 2.0 or better will be “Fully Certified” for
purposes of transfer. If the receiving institu-
tion’s general education program requires
more than 48 hours, the student will be
required to earn additional general education
credits.
2. Core Component-Certified. Students in
good academic standing who have complet-
ed a core of courses (33 hours) in the areas
listed below will be “Core Component-
Certified” for purposes of transfer.
Individuals in this category must fulfill the
remaining general education requirements
of the receiving institution which have not
been satisfied through the Core Component.
3. Category-Certified. Students who have
completed some, but not all, of the five cate-
gories in the 33-hour Core Component, will
be “Category-Certified” for purposes of
transfer. Individuals in this situation must ful-
fill all of the remaining general education
requirements of the receiving institution
which have not been satisfied through
“Category” Certification.

IV. Questions Commonly Asked about the
General Education Transfer Policy
How will credits earned through CLEP Advanced
Placement, or other examinations be handled?
If the sending institution certifies such credits for
application to its general education requirements
(either with or without the granting of credit hours),
the receiving institution will recognize these
requirements as having been fulfilled.
How will credits earned in private or out-of-state
institutions be treated?
If a public sending institution endorses the use of
such credits for satisfying a general education
requirement, the receiving institution will accept
this decision.
What happens in the case of D grades in general
education courses?
Grades of D are accepted at most public colleges
and universities for purposes of fulfilling general
education requirements. However, in granting
transfer credit, some institutions do not accept D
grades; students should check with individual advi-
sors or admissions officers at the schools to which
they are transferring. Where D grades do not
receive transfer credit, certifications by sending
institutions of course work which includes D grades
may not be fully accepted.
Will credits earned at colleges or universities not
accredited by a regional accrediting agency be
applicable to the General Education Transfer
Policy?
The SACS standard on the transfer of credits
must be followed, and each transfer is subject to
evaluation in accordance with the SACS standard.
What information can a receiving institution
expect from a sending institution regarding a stu-
dent’s general education certification?
The sending institution will indicate, either on the
transcript or as an attachment to the transcript,
whether the student is Fully Certified, Core
Component-Certified, or Category-Certified in gen-
eral education.
Will information about the completion of transfer
credits at one institution be automatically sent to
another institution, or must students request this
service?
Some institutions have the capability to include
general education certification on the transcript by
using an automated process. Other institutions do
not. Students should request a general education
audit when they submit a transcript request.
Who will receive the documentation certifying
general education transfer?
A centralized office on each campus will receive
the transfer information. Normally, the Office of
Admissions will handle this task.
Does this policy affect general education require-
ments for specific majors?
No. The General Education Transfer Policy does
not add to, subtract from, or change any general
education courses required for a major. Students
need to work closely with their advisors to deter-
mine what relationship, if any, exists between
requirements for general education and require-
ments for a specific major. This is a most important
issue and should be carefully noted.
What appeal do students have in case of misun-
derstandings or disagreements?
Each institution has a process for appeals related
to the General Education Transfer Policy. Also, each
institution appoints a person to serve as the official
institutional liaison with respect to the Policy.
Students in need of assistance should contact that
individual.
Who are considered transfer students?
Transfer students are those who transfer from
one public higher education institution (sending
institution) to another public higher education insti-
tution (receiving institution) with the intention of
completing their educational program at the receiv-
ing institution.
Who are transient (or visiting) students?
Transient students are students in good standing
in any recognized institution who enroll in another
institution with the intention of transferring the
credits earned to their home institution.
Does the Transfer Policy allow students to receive
duplicate credit by taking courses at one institu-
tion and repeating equivalent or similar courses at
another institution?
No. The General Education Transfer Policy does
not impact the policies of the respective institutions
with regard to duplicate course credit. Students
should work closely with their academic advisors to
make appropriate course selections before and
after transferring from one institution to another.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 31
POLICIES
Transcript evaluations at Kentucky State
University are carried out in accordance with guide-
lines published by the American Association of
Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, the
Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education, and
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
All credits earned with a grade of “C” or better
from a regionally accredited institution of higher
education will be accepted for transfer. The tran-
script evaluation will determine the applicability of
these credits to degree requirements at Kentucky
State University. Credits that do not fulfill degree
requirements will be accepted as free electives if
grades of “C” or better were earned.
Kentucky State University will not give upper-
level credit for courses completed at junior and
community colleges without validation that the
courses are equivalent to upper-level University
courses.
PROCEDURES
Responsibility for the initial evaluation of tran-
scripts for transfer credit rests with the University’s
Office of the Registrar. A transfer applicant is
responsible for ensuring that all transcripts of pre-
vious college or university course work are sent to
the Office of Admissions. The admission decision
cannot be made until all transcripts of previous col-
32 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
lege or university course work, except for any
course work currently in progress, are received. In
the event of academic suspension/dismissal from
any institution previously attended or currently
being attended, an applicant must submit a letter of
good academic standing from the last institution
attended, stating that he or she is eligible to return
to that institution. Further, an applicant must sub-
mit a letter of recommendation from the Dean of
Students of each institution attended.
Transfer credit from another institution accepted
by the University will be placed on a student's aca-
demic record following completion of the student's
first semester at the University. Transfer students
will not have a University cumulative grade-point
average until they have completed one semester of
course work at Kentucky State University. Quality
points will be awarded only for work completed at
KSU.
Upon completion of the initial evaluation of a
transfer applicant's transcript(s), the Office of the
Registrar will inform the applicant in writing as to
the transferability of previously completed course
work and the applicability of these credits to degree
requirements at the University. For students with
an undeclared major, applicability of University-
accepted credits to specific degree requirements
will occur as part of the declaration of major
process.
The following policies apply to all students
enrolled in undergraduate courses at Kentucky
State University. In some cases, different policies
apply to students enrolled in graduate courses. In
these cases, graduate students are governed by the
policies included in the Master’s of Public
Administration subsection of the Catalogue.
The limitations in the definitions may be modi-
fied to meet accreditation, licensing, and/or certifi-
cation requirements.
|. General Definitions
A.A semester credit hour represents one
clock hour of recitation or lecture, or two
clock hours of laboratory per week for one
semester for most courses; some courses
in art, music, physical education, and
other areas are calculated according to
accreditation standards in the particular
area.
B. Quality points are the assigned points of a
specific letter grade. The total quality
points of a course are calculated by multi-
plying the quality point value of the letter
grade earned by the number of semester
credit hours for the course (see Section
VIII).
C.The cumulative grade-point average is
defined as the total number of quality
points earned in all courses taken at
Kentucky State University in which the stu-
dent received a grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,”
or “F” divided by the total number of
semester credit hours in all courses taken
at the University in which the student
received a grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or
“pM
1. If a course is repeated, only the highest
grade will be used in the computation
of the cumulative grade-point average.
2. Unless specifically described in the
course description as a repeatable
course, credit may be earned only once
for courses that are repeated.
3. All grades earned at Kentucky State
University will remain on the student's
transcript and in the permanent record,
unless the'student has successfully
petitioned and been granted academic
bankruptcy (see Section XVI).
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
AND POLICIES
D.The current grade-point average is defined
as the total number of quality points
earned in all courses in which the student
received a grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or
“F” during the last term (summer ses-
sion/semester) of enrollment divided by
the total number of semester credit hours
in all courses in which the student
received a grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or
“F” during the last term (summer session/
semester) of enrollment. ~
ll. Definitions of Majors, Minors, and Areas of
Specialization
The following definitions are to be consid-
ered University norms for evaluation and
approval of master’s, baccalaureate, and
associate degree programs. A student may
pursue a subsequent degree in a given
matriculation period, e.g., two baccalaureate
degrees, two associate degrees, or two grad-
uate degrees when minimum graduation
requirements are met with additional course
work for the appropriate degree level (see
Section V-Subsequent Degrees). A student
may not pursue mixed levels of degrees
simultaneously. The definitions and the limi-
tations that accompany them are based upon
the University’s policy of emphasizing
breadth of study in the basic disciplines with
emphasis on the humanities in fulfillment of
Kentucky State University’s liberal studies
role and mission. Course content shall be
appropriate for University-level courses.
Departures from these norms must be justi-
fied by the nature of the program and must
have the recommendation of the Faculty
Senate and approval of the Board of
Regents.
Master’s Degree Program
A master’s degree program is a planned
and approved program of study leading to
graduation with a master’s degree. It should
be possible to complete a master’s degree
program in two and one-half years of study.
The minimum semester credit hour require-
ment shall be 39, and no program should
require more than 45 semester credit hours.
A student may elect to exceed this maximum
in meeting personal education objectives.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 33
34
The master’s degree program must be com-
pleted within six years of initial enrollment.
Baccalaureate Degree Programs
A baccalaureate degree program is a
planned and approved program of study
leading to graduation with a baccalaureate
degree. It should be possible to complete a
baccalaureate degree program in eight
semesters of normal full-time study. The
minimum semester credit hour requirement
shall be 128, and no program should require
more than 144 semester credit hours. A stu-
dent may elect to exceed this maximum in
meeting personal education objectives.
Each baccalaureate degree program shall
include the Liberal Studies Requirements of
the University (unless specific courses have
been officially substituted or waived) and a
major. Minors, areas of specialization, pre-
major, prerequisites, and support courses
may be required. Individual students may
elect to take a minor or a second major to
meet personal education objectives. Every
baccalaureate degree program shall include
the provision for a minimum of 6 semester
credit hours of free electives. A minimum of
45 semester credit hours in upper-level
courses is required for graduation.
Associate Degree Programs
An associate degree program is a planned
and approved program of study leading to
graduation with an associate degree. It is
possible to complete an associate degree
program in four semesters of normal full-
time study. The minimum semester credit
hour requirement shall be 64, and no pro-
gram should require more than 76 semester
credit hours. A student may elect to exceed
this maximum in meeting personal educa-
tion objectives.
Each associate degree program, except
the Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies, shall
include required major courses, support
courses, and at least 15 semester credit
hours of the Liberal Studies Requirements of
the University. The liberal studies component
shall include courses designed to develop
skills in oral and written communication and
in computational skills. The liberal studies
component shall also include courses drawn
from each of the following areas: humani-
ties/fine arts, social/behavioral sciences, and
natural sciences/ mathematics. The
Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies degree is
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
comprised of 47 semester credit hours of lib-
eral studies, 3 semester credit hours of sup-
port courses, and 15 semester credit hours
of advised electives. Every associate degree
program shall include the provision for a
minimum of 3 semester credit hours of free
electives.
The Major
A major consists of a planned sequence of
courses usually within a single discipline;
however, a major may consist of a planned
group of courses from more than one disci-
pline. The minimum semester credit hour
requirement for a major shall be 30, and the
maximum shall be 48. A minimum of 18
semester credit hours in the major must be
upper-level courses.
The Minor
A minor consists of a planned sequence of
courses, usually in a discipline related to the
major. The minor shall consist of a minimum
of 18 semester credit hours and shall not
exceed 21 semester credit hours. A mini-
mum of 12 semester credit hours in the
minor shall be above the 100 level.
The Area of Specialization
Some major programs consist of a core
program of study within the academic unit as
well as required additional study in one or
more areas of specialization selected from
options within or related to the discipline.
The area of specialization shall consist of a
minimum of 12 semester credit hours and a
maximum of 18 semester credit hours
beyond the core, with a minimum of 12 in
upper-level courses.
Pre-majors, Prerequisites, and Support
Courses
A degree program may identify and
require courses as are justified for proper
completion of the major. Courses may be
from within the discipline (pre-majors or pre-
requisites) or from other disciplines (prereq-
uisites or support courses). Such credits thus
required are not included in the limitations
stated previously, but are included in the
minimum of 128 semester credit hours and
the maximum of 145 semester credit hours
for a baccalaureate degree.
Liberal Studies Requirements
The Liberal Studies Requirements are
described elsewhere in this Catalogue. These
courses, whether unique requirements or
optional requirements, may also serve as
pre-majors, prerequisites, or support cours-
es, but may not be included in requirements
for a major, a minor, or an area of specializa-
tion. A student may not take a Liberal Studies
Requirement on a pass-fail basis.
Free Electives
Free electives may be selected by the stu-
dent from any courses not required in the
particular degree program, excluding reme-
dial and non-credit course offerings.
The limitations in the definitions may be
modified to meet accreditation, licensing,
and/or certification requirements.
Academic Requirements for Graduation

Vill. Grading System
Information regarding grading policies is
available from the Office of Academic Affairs
and in the course syllabus for each course.
All policies established by academic units
and/or by course instructors must be in com-
pliance with policies outlined below.
A.A course instructor will issue a final grade
at the conclusion of the course for each
student officially registered for the course.
The course instructor remains the sole
person responsible for issuing a final
course grade, except as provided in sub-
section B below, and in Section XV.F.
B.In the event an instructor becomes
incapacitated or otherwise is unable to
issue course grades, the academic unit
administrator will be responsible for issu-
ing final course grades.
C. Only final grades specified in sub-section
E of the Academic Regulations and
Policies may be issued.
D. Instructors are to report final grades to the
Office of the Registrar in accordance with
the procedures and deadlines required by
the University. Only the Office of the
Registrar has authority to issue official
final grades.
E. The following system of symbols will be
used in grading students:
1.A excellent; four quality points per
semester credit hour
2.B good; three quality points per
semester credit hour
3.C satisfactory; two quality points per
semester credit hour
4. D poor; one quality point per semes-
ter credit hour
5. F failure; zero quality points, zero
credit
6.P pass, proficient; not included in
grade-point average (see Section
VIIL.F)
7. | incomplete; not included in grade-
point average (see Section VIII.H)
8. W withdrawal, which can only be
entered for students who withdraw
prior to the end of the tenth full
week of classes during a semester,
or before two-thirds of the instruc-
tional days of the summer session;
not included in grade-point average
9. AUaudit; not included in grade-point
average (see Section VIII.G)
F. Pass-Fail (P/F)

given to indicate satisfactory comple-
tion of the examinations and/or experi-
ences eligible for pass-fail credit. A
grade of “F” (fail, not proficient) will be
given to indicate unsatisfactory comple-
tion of the examinations and/or experi-
ences eligible for pass-fail credit. When
a grade of “P” is earned through satis-

next regular academic semester (Fall or
Spring). No appeal of a course grade
will be considered unless a written
appeal is made to the instructor by the

respond in writing to the student, stat-
ing whether or not the appeal is grant-
ed and stating the instructor's rationale
for the decision. The written response
must be completed by the end of the
fifth full week of classes in the semester

longer employed by the University or is
otherwise unavailable, the student must
proceed as prescribed in step 2;

instructor's decision and wishes to con-
tinue the grade appeal, the student
must pick up the Academic Appeals
Packet from the Office of the Registrar

the packet for continuing an appeal of a
course grade; and
3. If a grade appeal reaches the Academic
Appeals Committee, the student and
the instructor may be requested to
meet with the committee to resolve the
appeal.
G. Appealing for Retroactive Withdrawal.
1. Retroactive withdrawal from a course
will be considered only when a student

the scheduled deadline for appropriate-
ly withdrawing due to some unforeseen
and extraordinary circumstance. The
student must make this appeal no later
than two days before the next regular
academic semester begins. Appeals
that do not clearly substantiate the cir-
cumstance for missing the withdrawal
date will not be considered.
2. Retroactive withdrawal from the
University will be considered only when
a student documents to the Academic
Appeals Committee that he/she could
not meet the scheduled deadline for
appropriately withdrawing due to some
unforeseen and extraordinary circum-
stance. The student must make this
appeal no later than two days before
the next regular academic semester
begins. Appeals that do not clearly
substantiate the circumstance for miss-
ing the withdrawal date will not be con-
sidered.
3. Students receiving federal financial aid

student will be required to abide by an
academic contract to be developed in
consultation with the student's advisor
and the chairperson of the depart-
ment/division in which the student is
majoring. Also, if re-admission is grant-
ed, the student will be placed on proba-
tion.

XVI.
XVII.
Academic Bankruptcy
In certain situations, a student may apply to

the student's academic record for the term(s)
specified will be stricken. The bankruptcy
policy is subject to the following:
A. The student must file a written petition for
academic bankruptcy to the Academic
Appeals Committee presenting a strong
case for supporting the approval of the
petition. Reasons for the request (i.e.,
financial problems, illness, or problems of
a personal nature) should be cited. The
Academic Appeals Committee will for-
ward its recommendation to the Office of
Academic Affairs for final disposition;
. The “forgiveness” policy demands that all
of the student's academic record for the
term(s) specified will be stricken;
. The student's entire academic record for
the stipulated period will be totally strick-
en from the transcript, with a notation of
the bankruptcy action appearing on the
transcript;
. All courses for a given term will be
included in the bankruptcy;
. A student cannot have been enrolled at
Kentucky State University for a minimum
period of two years prior to declaring
bankruptcy;
, A student who was on suspension at the
time of last attendance and is granted aca-
demic bankruptcy and re-admitted to the
University, will be placed on probation;
.If a student is suspended after having
been granted a petition for academic
bankruptcy, he/she will be permanently
dismissed from the University; and
. A student cannot declare academic bank-
ruptcy more than once.
Policy on ACT and SAT Scores
A.All full-time degree-seeking students
admitted to freshman class status must
submit official ACT or SAT scores. If a stu-
dent has been admitted to a degree pro-
gram contingent upon receipt of the offi-
cial test scores, the student must take the
ACT to fulfill the requirement during the
first semester of enrollment.
. All non-degree students are encouraged
to submit official ACT or SAT scores if
there is any possibility of becoming
degree-seeking. Upon the completion of
24 semester credit hours in a non-degree
status, a non-degree student is required to
reconfirm his/her intention to not pursue a
degree from Kentucky State University.
The student's advisor will ensure that the
student reconfirms his/her intention or
takes the steps to become degree-seek-
ing. If such a student changes his/her
mind after the accumulation of 24 semes-
ter credit hours in a non-degree status,
he/she must take the ACT or SAT before
converting, regardless of the number of
semester credit hours earned.
. All transfer applicants with fewer than 24
transferable semester credit hours must
submit official ACT or SAT scores, either
by those furnished directly to Kentucky
State University by the American College
Testing Program, by the College Board, or
by inclusion in the transcript of the trans-
fer application.
XVIII. Catalogue of Record: Enrollment,
Re-enrollment, and Required Curriculum
A.A degree-seeking student must meet the
Liberal Studies Requirements and the
major requirements, including those
required courses offered by academic
units other than the major unit, as pub-
lished in the Catalogue in effect at the time
of enrollment. The student will be subject
to these requirements so long as he/she
remains in continuous enrollment.
Continuous enrollment means attendance
without interruption during consecutive
semesters. Lack of enrollment in summer
session does not constitute an interrup-
tion of enrollment.
. Following an interruption of more than
two years, re-enrolling degree-seeking
students must meet the Liberal Studies
Requirements and the major requirements
as published in the Catalogue in effect at
the time of re-enrollment. For interrup-
tions of two years or less the student will
have the option of selecting requirements
in effect at the time of either initial enroll-
ment or re-enrollment.
.A student who changes his/her major
must meet the major requirements as
published in the Catalogue in effect at the
time the student declares the new major.
The Major Change Form must be obtained
from the Office of the Registrar and must
be returned with all necessary approval
signatures.
. A student who changes from non-degree
status to degree-seeking status must meet
the requirements as published in the
Catalogue in effect at the time the student
becomes degree-seeking.
. A student may be a declared major in only
one major degree program at any one
time, and, with appropriate approval, may
pursue a second major.
F. A student pursuing a curriculum leading
to certification or licensure must meet the
curriculum requirements in effect at the
time he/she graduates.
XIX. Graduation Residency Requirements
In order to receive a baccalaureate or an
associate degree from Kentucky State
University, a student must complete the last
32 or 16 semester credit hours, respectively,
at the University. If extenuating circum-
stances exist, the Vice President for
Academic Affairs may grant, upon the rec-
ommendation of the appropriate dean, a stu-
dent's request to take no more than six (6) of
his/her last 32 or 16 semester credit hours at
another accredited institution.
The preceding policies apply to all students
enrolled in undergraduate courses at Kentucky
State University. In some cases, different policies
apply to students enrolled in graduate courses. In
these cases, graduate students are governed by the
policies included in the Master of Public
Administration sub-section of the Catalogue.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 45
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION/
CERTIFICATION AND CREDIT FOR LIFE
EXPERIENCE
With the exception of students in the
Administrative Support Services Program who
receive credit for the Certified Professional
Secretaries’ (CPS) exam, up to one-fourth the mini-
mum number of semester credit hours required for
completion of a baccalaureate degree or an associ-
ate degree at Kentucky State University may be
earned through any combination of credit by exam-
ination/certification and credit for life experience.
Credit by examination may be earned through
Academic Unit Challenge Examinations and by sat-
isfactory performance on College Level
Examination Program (CLEP) tests, the Proficiency
Examination Program, and the Advanced
Placement Program examinations. Satisfactory per-
formance on the latter three shall be based upon
the score established by the appropriate University
official. Credit (not a letter grade) shall be entered
on the student’s record by the Office of the
Registrar. More information is available at the Office
of the Registrar.
ACADEMIC UNIT CHALLENGE EXAMINATIONS
A student intending to challenge a course must
complete registration for the course, including pay-
ment of applicable fees, during the registration peri-
od and must receive the approval of his/her advisor
and the chairperson or dean through which the
course is offered. The chairperson may deny the
request if it is determined that the student has not
furnished evidence that he/she is reasonably pre-
pared to take the challenge examination.
The challenge examination must be taken before
the beginning of the third week of classes during
the fall and spring semesters and before the end of
the first week of classes during a summer session.
A student who wants to challenge a course must
attend the respective class before taking the chal-
lenge examination.
The challenge examination will be comprehen-
sive in nature and will have been approved by the
dean or chairperson as an acceptable examination.
A passing grade (“P”) on the challenge examination
is the sole determinant of successful completion.
No grade is assigned if the student fails the exami-
nation. Challenge examination grades will be
reported on the official Grade Roster at the conclu-
sion of the semester/session.
If the student fails the challenge examination,
then he/she may either attend the class as a regular
student or withdraw from the course. If the student
46 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
chooses to withdraw from the course, then the
University’s existing withdrawal policies apply. A
student may not take a challenge examination for
classes previously failed.
A student may challenge a course only one time,
and no challenge examination will be administered
for courses for which CLEP examinations are avail-
able.

PROFICIENCY EXAMINATION PROGRAMS
Nursing: Kentucky State University’s Depart-
ment of Nursing offers Licensed Practical Nurses
(LPN's) the opportunity to be exempted from taking
NUR 101 (Nursing |) by successfully completing the
ACT-PEP Fundamentals of Nursing Examination
and’ a nursing skills test administered by the
Department of Nursing. A minimum of 50 is
required on the ACT-PEP and a satisfactory perfor-
mance is required on the nursing skills test. Code
1516 must be used to designate Kentucky State
University as a score recipient. Interested students
should contact the chairperson of the Department
of Nursing.
Foreign Languages: The area of Modern Foreign
Languages offers proficiency examinations for stu-
dents with prior experience in French, German,
Italian, and Spanish. Students who demonstrate
competency in a foreign language by making the
necessary score on a proficiency examination may
qualify for a 102 level foreign language course (or
above) depending upon their score. Students
demonstrating competency above the 102 level are
considered to have fulfilled the foreign language
requirement of the University’s Liberal Studies
Requirements. However, students demonstrating
foreign language competency through a proficien-
cy examination will not receive academic credit.
Foreign language proficiency examinations may
not be repeated.
CREDIT FOR LIFE EXPERIENCE (CLE)
The “Credit for Life Experience” program is a
Kentucky State University option which affords an
adult student, who has significant learning generat-
ed by life experiences, the opportunity to document
this learning for possible academic credit. To be eli-
gible for the program, a student must:
1) enroll in CLE 299 (Portfolio Development) with
the approval of the CLE instructor;
2) be an associate or baccalaureate degree-
seeking student and have completed both ENG
101 (English Composition I) and MAT 110
(Intermediate Algebra), or their equivalents at
other institutions; and
3) have significant life experience that is equiva-
lent to selected and approved course work
offered by the University.
A student is eligible to take CLE 299 and com-
plete the assessment process only once in each
five-year period.
The successful completion of CLE 299 results in
the development of a portfolio that documents the
\
student’s learning through life experience and
becomes the basis for the formal request for acad-
emic credit. Academic credit through assessment is
granted only for related courses taught by the
University’s faculty as part of the degree programs
of Kentucky State University. Academic credit is not
available for any course that state or accrediting
agency policy does not allow to be granted by
assessment. The portfolio can be assessed only
after the student has been billed for and has paid a
non-refundable fee equal to one-third the prevailing
tuition rate per semester credit hour for the sum of
all credits requested through the portfolio.
A student may earn up to one-fourth the mini-
mum number of semester credit hours required for
completion of an associate or“a baccalaureate
degree under the Credit for Life Experience option
provided that no other credit by examination/certi-
fication has been earned (including CLEP and
Challenge Examinations). A student who intends
first to complete an associate degree program and
then work toward a baccalaureate degree may
“bank” credits above one-fourth the minimum
number of semester credit hours, which would then
become applicable toward a baccalaureate degree.
The payment will amount to one-third of the appro-
priate prevailing tuition rate.
The Credit for Life Experience program is admin-
istered by the Transcript Evaluation Coordinator in
the Office of the Registrar.
ARMED SERVICE CERTIFICATION CREDIT
Armed service school courses taken by armed
service personnel will be granted credit as recom-
mended in the Guide to the Evaluation of
Educational Experience in the Armed Services.
Certificates of completion of such courses must be
presented for the awarding of credit. Interested stu-
dents should see the VA Specialist or Transfer
Evaluation Center Coordinator in the Office of the
Registrar for assistance.
VOCATIONAL SCHOOL ARTICULATION

tion agreement with regional post-secondary voca-
tional and technical schools, awards semester cred-
it hours to applicants who continue their technical
field of study in Nursing, Industrial Technology, or

TESTING SERVICE
The University’s Office of Testing is responsible
for the administration, scoring, reporting, and
record keeping for a number of nation-wide stan-
dardized testing programs and services, as well as
for specialized institutional testing programs and
services. The specific tests and programs may vary
as the University’s programs change, but they cur-
rently include the following:
1. The General Educational Development (GED)
(high school equivalency) test;
2. The American College Testing (ACT) Program
(the preferred entrance test for Kentucky State
University);
3. Rising Junior Assessment required of all
university students seeking a baccalaureate
degree. Assessment is scheduled in period in
which 60 semester hours are earned. Student

time he/she has earned 96 credit hours;
4. A comprehensive exam required of all second-
semester sophomores to assess general educa-
tion competency;
5. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
la procedure for receiving college credit for
specific courses by passing the corresponding
national examination);
6. The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE)
(required for entrance or full acceptance into
many graduate schools, including the
University's Master of Public Administration
program);

50 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
many colleges and universities in the USA and
institutions in other countries where English is
the language of instruction;
9. Correspondence examinations (for persons
taking courses by correspondence from other
universities);
10. An exam required for applicants to the Nursing
programs for those with an ACT score below
21;
11. Advanced Placement (AP) credit awarded to
participating students; and
12. Career Planning Program Exam-Level Il (CPP2)
a test provided for admission to the University

In addition, the Office of Testing has the official
registration forms and information for other testing
programs, such as the Graduate Management
Admissions Test (GMAT), the Law School
Admissions Test (LSAT), the Medical College
Admissions Test (MCAT), and the PRAXIS Series
Exams. The Office of Testing also receives test
scores from other programs, such as the Advanced
Placement Program, and distributes these scores to
the proper academic units. Moreover, the Office of
Testing offers consultation services to students, fac-
ulty, staff, and administrators on a variety of test-
related topics including test preparation, test-taking
skills, and test usage and interpretation.
Students planning to take any of the above tests
should keep in mind that most tests are given only
a few times a year on specific dates. The date
selected should provide time for the scores to be
received by the institution by the announced dead-
line. (Ordinarily it takes four to six weeks after the
test for the results to be available.) Most tests
require registration about one month in advance of
the actual test date.
Complete details on the above testing services
and programs, including test/registration deadlines
and fees, are available from the Office of Testing.
Information on the ACT, Advanced Placement
Program, and SAT is also available from high
school counselors or principals.

is $135 a semester credit hour for Kentucky resi-
dents and $392 a semester credit hour for non-res-
idents.
The cost of attending the University is consider-
ably less than that at private liberal arts institutions
to whose academic programs and institutional
goals the University may best be compared.
Kentucky State University acknowledges, however,
that many students require some form of financial
assistance in order to support their study at the
University. Kentucky State University provides a
wide range of such support through a program of
scholarships, grants, college work-study, and low-
interest loans. Approximately 85 percent of the stu-
dents currently enrolled in the University receive
some form of financial assistance, based upon indi-
vidual need or merit. Information about financial
assistance is in the Financial Aid and Scholarships
section of the catalog. i
All fees are subject to change without notice.
International students are required to make pay-
ments in U.S. dollars.

DEFERRED PAYMENT PLANS: FEES AND
PAYMENT SCHEDULES
Deferred Payment Plans. A student who does not
have the total amount to cover fees for the semes-
ter may be eligible for a deferred payment plan.
Eligibility is determined by:
1) all accounts being settled in full;
2) the student having been processed by
Financial Aid and
his/her award, including all loan programs
(excluding PLUS loans) not being sufficient to
cover his/her semester charges.
The student may choose between the deferred
payment plan (promissory note) or the monthly
payment plan. At registration, payment is due
regardless of the status of a student's financial aid.
With the promissory note, half of the note amount
for uncovered charges is due. The required pay-
ment does not include payment from any type of
financial aid. A student approved for the promisso-
ry note will be assessed a $40.00 deferred payment
fee and will make payments in accordance with the
following schedule:

In addition to the Deferred Payment Plan,
Kentucky State University offers a Monthly Payment
Plan. This Plan enables families to spread all or part
of their annual educational expenses over ten
equal, monthly payments. This eliminates the lump
sum payment usually due at the start of each
semester. There is a $40 annual service fee. The
plan is flexible and may be adjusted at any time
throughout the duration of the process. There are
no interest or other charges. Further information, is
available at the Office of Financing and Collections
at (502) 597-6278.
RETURNED CHECK POLICY
Personal checks are accepted campus-wide for a
variety of services (e.g., tuition and fees, day care,
traffic tickets, bookstore, etc.). With a valid KSU
identification card, checks may be cashed by the
KSU family. However, should the check be returned
from the bank, for whatever reason, a returned
check fee will be assessed to the individual's
account. A person cannot have more than two (2)
returned checks in a given semester. If more than
two checks are returned, check cashing privileges
will be revoked.
Any returned check which was written during
registration in an amount greater than $100 will
result in that particular student's classes being
dropped from the system. Upon receipt of the
returned check, the issuer will be notified and
informed that he/she has ten days to make restitu-
tion,* including any related fees, to prevent any fur-
ther collection activity. After the ten-day period has
expired, the returned check will be forwarded to the
County Attorney in Frankfort for collection purpos-
es.
*Restitution must be made in the form of cash, a
certified check, or a money order.
TUITION AND FEE REFUND POLICY
Students withdrawing from the University or
dropping credits that result in a change in the
assessment of fees will be eligible for a refund of
fees based on the dates and conditions listed
below. No refund can be made on certain fees and
optional fees as established by the Kentucky State
University Board of Regents. The date of comple-
tion of the withdrawal/drop determines the percent
of refund for which the student is eligible. A with-
drawal/drop is complete when the necessary forms
have been completed and returned to the desig-
nated office as follows:
All Semesters/Sessions
Student Withdrawing
from All Classes Office of the Registrar
Student dropping Courses while
remaining enrolled at KSU Office of the Registrar
REFUND PERIODS
For purposes of calculating refunds, “weeks” are
counted as seven-day periods beginning with the
first day of classes for the semester. Refunds will be
issued on canceled classes and early withdrawals.
Refunds to be issued from PELL, SEOG, and
KHEAA Grants will be issued within two weeks
from the date funds are applied to the student's
account. Questions concerning refunds should be
directed to the Bursar’s Office (ASB Lobby).
As required by Federal Regulations, the
University shall return all or a portion of the Title IV
aid awarded to the appropriate Title IV account if
the student officially withdraws, drops out, takes an
unapproved leave, is expelled, or otherwise fails to
complete the period of enrollment for which he or
she was charged. Kentucky State University is also
required to perform a Pro Rata Refund Policy in
addition to the Title IV Refund Policy. The Higher
Education Amendments were enacted to ensure
that all schools have a “fair and equitable refund
policy” for all Title IV programs. A policy is consid-
ered fair and equitable if it provides for the larger of
the following:
1. Requirements of applicable state law;
2. Requirements established by the school’s
accrediting agency;
3. Pro Rata refund, unless withdrawal is after the
60% point (in time) for which the student has
been charged.
Effective July 1, 1993, the regulations mandated the
following refund distribution formula:
Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans
Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans
Federal Direct PLUS Loans
Federal Perkins Loans
Federal Pell Grants
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant (FSEOG)
Other Student Financial Assistance Programs
Other federal, state, private, or institutional
sources of aid
The Student
If a student receives a cash refund and then with-
draws from school, he/she must repay a portion of
the amount received. The amount to be repaid will
be prorated outlined in the Tuition and Fee Refunds
Periods section below.
New students at KSU are entitled to a Pro Rata
refund if his/her last day of attendance is before the
earlier of the half-way point in time.for the student's
study or six months after the beginning of the pro-
gram.
Under the Pro Rata refund policy, the university
is entitled to retain the amount of charges (tuition,
fees, room and, etc.) That is proportional to the
portion of the enrollment period that was complet-
ed by the student.
In accordance with federal regulations, KSU will
use the following guidelines for Pro Rata refund cal-
culations:
— Any student who is attending the University
for the first time and who withdraws on or
before the 60% point of a semester is subject
to Pro Rata refund. A Pro Rata refund calcula-
tion will not be applied to students withdraw-
ing after the 60% point of a given semester.
- Actual dates will be published in the Schedule
of Classes.
— Pro Rata refunds allow for proration of tuition,
fees, room and board, and many other
charges assessed the student based on the
number of weeks remaining in the period for
which the student was charged divided by the
total number of weeks in the period for which
the student was charged.
Percentages of fees for refunds are based on the
following calculation:
Fall and Spring Semesters
100 percent refund - Prior to the first day of
classes and during the first
week of classes
75 percent refund - During the second week of
classes
50 percent refund - During the third week of
classes
25 percent refund - During the fourth week of
classes
No refund will be made after the fourth week of
classes.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 55
Summer Session
100 percent refund - Prior to the end of late
registration
75 percent refund - Two days after the end of
late registration
50 percent refund - Next four days after the
end of late registration
25 percent refund - Next two days after the
end of late registration
No refund will be made nine days after the end of
late registration.
ROOM AND BOARD REFUNDS
No refund of room and board fees will be made
or adjusted for students withdrawing for the acade-
mic year or moving out of the dormitories if an
application is not completed and returned within a
48-hour period from the official date of registration,
unless approved by the Vice President for Student
Affairs.
REFUND APPEAL PROCESS
A committee, chaired by the Vice President for
Student Affairs, and composed of the Vice
President for Finance and Administration and the
Vice President for Academic Affairs or their
designees reviews all appeals from students or par-
ents/guardians who feel that individual circum-
stances warrant exemption from policy. Requests
for appeals should be sent to the Vice President for
Student Affairs.
FEE ASSESSMENT: CLASSIFICATION OF
STUDENTS
The following is a statewide residency policy
affecting students at all public higher education
institutions in Kentucky, including Kentucky State
University. It was established by the Council on
Postsecondary Education and is subject to change.
Any additional information can be obtained from
the Office of Admissions.
UNIVERSITY RESIDENCY PROCESS AND
APPEALS
The Office of Admissions determines the resi-
dency status of students at the time of application
to the University. A student who questions his/her
residency status, whether a new applicant or a cur-
rently enrolled student, should direct all inquiries to
the Office of Admissions. Upon completion of the
required affidavit by the student and provision of all
required documentation, a residency decision will
be made by the Office of Admissions. A student
may appeal this decision through the Office of
Admissions to the University Residency Admis-
sion/Recruitment Committee, which is established
56 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
to consider residency-classification appeals.
Appeals should be addressed to the Director of
Admissions, Kentucky State University, 400 E. Main
Street, Academic Services Building, Frankfort, KY
40601. The student will be notified in writing of the
decision rendered at each level of the appeal. If the
decision by the committee is not satisfactory, a stu-
dent may make a final appeal to the Executive
Director of the Council on Postsecondary
Education.

tained by the Commonwealth of Kentucky pri-
marily for the benefit of qualified residents of

lic resources to post-secondary education is
predicated on the proposition that the state
benefits significantly from the existence of an
educated citizenry. As a matter of policy,
access to post-secondary education shall be
provided so far as feasible at reasonable cost
to an individual who is domiciled in Kentucky
and who is a resident of Kentucky.

requires a student who is neither domiciled in
nor a resident of Kentucky to meet higher
admission standards and to pay a higher level
of tuition than resident students.
3. This administrative regulation applies to all
student residency determinations regardless
of circumstances, including the Southern
Regional Education Board contract spaces;
reciprocity agreements, where appropriate;
and the Kentucky Commonwealth Virtual
University and academic common market pro-
grams.

idency shall be based upon verifiable circum-
stances or actions. A single fact shall not be
paramount, and each situation shall be evalu-
ated to identify those facts essential to the
determination of domicile and residency.
2. The following facts, although not conclusive,
60
shall have probative value in their entirety and
shall be individually weighted, as deemed
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
appropriate to the facts and circumstances in
each determination of residency:
(a)Acceptance of an offer of full-time employ-
ment or transfer to an employer in Kentucky
or a contiguous area while maintaining res-
idence and domicile in Kentucky;
(b)Continuous physical presence in Kentucky
while in a non-student status for the twelve
(12) months immediately preceding the
start of the academic term for which a clas-
sification of Kentucky residency is sought;
(c)1. Filing of Kentucky resident income tax
return for the calendar year preceding
the date of application for a change in
residency status; or
2. Payment of Kentucky withholding taxes
while employed during the calendar year
for which a change in classification is
sought;
(d)Full-time employment for at least one (1)
year while living in Kentucky;
(e)Attendance as a full-time, non-resident stu-
dent at an out-of-state institution based on
a determination by that school that the per-
son is a resident of Kentucky;
(f) Abandonment of a former domicile or resi-
dence and establishment of domicile and
residency in Kentucky with application to or
attendance at an institution following and
incidental to the change in domicile and
residency;
(g)Obtaining licensing or certification for a
professional and occupational purpose in
Kentucky;
(h)Payment of real property taxes in Kentucky;
(i) Ownership of real property in Kentucky, if

(m) The extent to which a student is depen-
dent on student financial aid in order to pro-
vide basic sustenance.
. Except as provided in sub-section (4) of this
section, the following facts, because of the
ease and convenience in completing them,
shall have limited probative value in a deter-
mination that a person is domiciled in and is a
resident of Kentucky:
(a)Kentucky automobile registration;
(b)Kentucky driver’s license; and
(c)Registration as a Kentucky voter
. The absence of a fact contained in sub-section
(3) of this section shall have significant proba-
tive value in determining that a student is not
domiciled in or is not a resident of Kentucky.
. Kentucky residency status shall not be con-
ferred by the performance of an act which is
incidental to fulfilling an educational purpose
or by an act which is performed as a matter of
convenience. Mere physical presence in
Kentucky, including living with a relative or
friend, shall not be sufficient evidence of
domicile and residency.
Section 11: Effect of a Change in Circumstances
on Residency Status
1. If aperson becomes independent or if the res-
idency status of a parent, or parents of a
dependent person changes, an institution
shall reassess residency either upon a request
by the student or a review initiated by an insti-
tution.
. Upon transfer to a Kentucky institution, a stu-
dent's residency status shall be reassessed by
the receiving institution.
. A reconsideration of a determination of resi-
dency status for a dependent person shall be

idency classification, which includes the fol-
lowing actions:

designated office or person at the institu-
tion; and
(c)Notifying the designated office or person at
the institution immediately upon a change
in residency
. If a student fails to notify an institutional offi-
cial of a change in residency, an institutional
official may investigate and evaluate the stu-
dent's current residency status.
. (a)lf a student fails to provide, by the date
specified by the institution, information
required by an institution in a determination
of residency status, the student shall be
notified by the institution that the review
has been canceled and that a determination
has been made. '
(b)Notification shall be made by registered
mail, with return receipt requested.
(c)Notification shall be made within ten (10)
calendar days after the deadline for receipt
of materials has passed.
. A student shall not be entitled to appeal a

may request a review of a determination of
residency status in a subsequent academic
term.
Section 13: Institutional Responsibilities

within fourteen (14) calendar days after notifi-
cation of a determination by a residency
review committee.
. If a request for a formal hearing is received, an
institution shall appoint a hearing officer to

FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPS
APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AID
Fall and Spring Semesters
Administration of financial assistance is the
responsibility of Kentucky State University’s
Student Financial Aid Office. Students and parents
are urged to read the following information with
particular care. Established University policies are
strictly adhered to in both the award and termina-
tion of University financial assistance. Important
federal guidelines must also be followed.
NEW FRESHMEN AND TRANSFER STUDENTS
Five specific steps must be followed before a
freshman or transfer student may be officially con-
sidered for financial assistance:
1. Every applicant must be accepted into an
eligible degree or certificate program;
2. The prospective student must submit official
admission application materials to the Office
of Admissions;
3. Every applicant for financial assistance must
complete a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) and an institutional appli-
cation. These forms, together with instruc-
tions for their completion, may be obtained
either from a high school counselor or direct-
ly from the University’s Student Financial Aid
Office. As early as possible in January or
February, the FAFSA should be completed
and mailed to the Federal Student Aid
Programs, and the institutional application
must be submitted to the University’s Student
Financial Aid Office no later than April 15;
4. Every applicant for financial assistance from
the University must apply for a Federal Pell
Grant. Application information will be sent
automatically to the Federal Pell Grant
Processor; and
5. If an applicant is selected for verification,
he/she must submit copies of both the par-
ents’ and the student’s most recent federal
income tax returns. If a parent or student did
not file a tax return, a Statement of Non-Tax
Filing must be completed and submitted to the
University’s Student Financial Aid Office.
Each of the preceding steps must be completed
before a student's application for financial assis-
tance can be considered by the University. Transfer
Students are responsible for ensuring that a
Financial Aid Transcript is forwarded to Kentucky
State University from each college or university
previously attended.
CONTINUING STUDENTS
Three specific steps must be followed before a
student already in attendance at the University may
be officially considered for financial aid (either initial
or continuation award):
1. Every applicant must complete a new Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
and an institutional application each year. The
FAFSA should be completed and mailed to the
Federal Student Aid Program in early January
or February. A student can apply over the
internet at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov instead of
using the paper form application. The
Kentucky State University School Code
(001968) must be indicated on the FAFSA
application. The institutional application must
be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid no
later than April 15. These forms, together with
instructions for their completion, may be
obtained from the University’s Student
Financial Aid Office;
2. Every applicant for financial assistance from
the University must apply for a Federal Pell
Grant. Application information will be sent
automatically to the Federal Pell Grant
Processor; and
3. If an applicant is selected for verification,
he/she must submit copies of both the par-
ents’ and the student’s federal income tax
returns. If a parent or student did not file a tax
return, a Statement of Non-Tax Filing must be
completed and submitted to the University’s
Student Financial Aid Office.
Each of the preceding steps must be completed
before a student’s application for financial assis-
tance can be considered by the University.
SUMMER SESSIONS
Students applying for financial aid for a summer
session must submit two forms: the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and
the University’s Financial Aid Application. The fol-
lowing conditions apply:
1. If a FAFSA has been submitted for the imme-
diately preceding academic year, a new
FAFSA is not required in order to apply for
financial aid for a summer session. Otherwise,
a new FAFSA must be submitted before
February 15.
2. A University Financial Aid Application must be
submitted before March 30 by every applicant
seeking financial assistance for a summer ses-
sion.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 63
TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID
College Access Program (CAP)
Students who are Kentucky residents may apply
for a grant from the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
They must complete a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA), which is available from the
University’s Student Financial Aid Office. To receive
this grant, students must answer “YES” to the state
agency question on the FAFSA.
Federal Pell Grant Program
The Federal Pell Grant Program is the largest fed-
eral student aid program available to undergradu-
ate students. It provides gift assistance to eligible
students and is the “foundation” of financial aid
packaging. Student eligibility is based on financial
need, which is determined through statutory for-
mulas developed by the U.S. Congress. The Federal
Pell Grant Processor will send a three- to five-part
Student Aid Report (SAR) directly to the student.
This SAR should be submitted by the student to the
University’s Student Financial Aid Office immedi-
ately upon receipt. The University’s Student
Financial Aid Office will calculate the amount of a
student’s Federal Pell Grant award based upon
information contained on the SAR.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants (FSEOG)
The Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is a form of gift assis-
tance supplemental to the Federal Pell Grant.
FSEOG provides grant assistance to make available
the benefits of post-secondary education to quali-
fied students who demonstrate financial need.
Applicants must complete the FAFSA to determine
eligibility for this grant.
Federal Perkins Loan Program
Kentucky State University provides loan assis-
tance to eligible students who have established
financial need. These loans carry an annual 5 per-
cent simple interest charge, and the payment
begins six or nine months after graduation or if the
borrower ceases to be enrolled on at least a half-
time basis. This is a federally-funded, low-interest
loan, and legal action will be taken if repayment is
not made as agreed to by the student. The FAFSA
must be filed in order to determine eligibility for this
loan.
William D. Ford Federal Direct Student Loan
Program Federal Direct Stafford/Ford Loans -
Also called Direct Subsidized Loans: The federal
government pays the interest on these loans while
students are in school at least half-time and during
64 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
certain other times, such as grade periods and
deferments (postponements of repayment).
Students must demonstrate financial need to
receive this type of loan. (Financial Aid determines
need based on the information provided on the
Student Aid Report.)
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford/Ford Loans -
Also called Direct Unsubsidized Loans: Students
can get these loans regardless of financial need, but
will have to pay all interest charges.
Master Promissory Note
Must be completed by all direct loan borrowers.
It is a legally binding contract between the U.S.
Department of Education (lender) and a borrower.
The promissory note contains the terms and condi-
tions of the loan, including how and when the loan
must be repaid. One MPN covers both the Federal
Direct Subsidized and the Federal Direct
Unsubsidized Loans. The amount of subsidized
and/or unsubsidized loan does not show on the
MPN but will be included in the most recent finan-
cial aid award notification from the Office of
Financial Aid. A disclosure statement from the
Federal Loan Origination Center will be sent to the
borrower. This statement will provide comprehen-
sive information about the types of loans that were
processed by the school, including both subsidized
and/or direct unsubsidized loans, the loan period,
and the anticipated disbursements. It is important
for the student to remember that he/she will be
responsible to repay only the loans he/she actually
receive at the school.
Federal Direct PLUS loans - for parents of depen-
dent students to pay for their children’s education.
Parents are responsible for all interest charges. In
order to apply, a parent must complete a combined
application/promissory note from the school. The
student must also complete a portion of the appli-
cation. The parent will be notified if he/she is eligi-
ble for the PLUS loan. Generally, the parent is eligi-
ble if he/she does not have an adverse credit histo-
ry (a credit check will be done), is not in default on
a federal student loan (including Federal PLUS
loans), and meets the other eligibility requirements
outlined on the loan application. The interest rate is
variable and is adjusted each year on July 1, but is
currently capped at 9 percent. The interest begins
to accumulate on the date of the first loan dis-
bursement. The loan will be disbursed in at least
two payments and generally will be credited to the
student's account for payment of tuition and other
school charges. Any leftover funds will be paid to
the parent by check or, with his/her written permis-
sion, either left in the student's account or paid
directly to the student. The repayment period
begins on the day the loan is fully disbursed. First
payment is due within 60 days after the final loan
disbursement.
Federal Work-Study Program
The Federal Work-Study Program provides jobs
for students who have established financial need
through the U.S. Department of Education. This is
completed by filing the FAFSA. Generally, work will
be on campus. Students are paid semi-monthly as
work is completed.
Part-Time Employment Program
Kentucky State University employs students
under the Part-Time Employment Program for up to
30 hours per week. Information about this program
may be obtained in the University Student Financial
Aid Office.
Veterans’ Benefits
Kentucky State University is an educational insti-
tution approved for training of veterans and other
eligible persons. Students who wish to determine
their eligibility for benefits under veterans’ laws
should contact either the Veterans Administration
(1-800-829-2050) or the Office of the Registrar.
Waiver of Tuition and Fees for Senior Citizens
Any person sixty-five (65) years of age or older
who is a resident of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky and who enrolls as a student at Kentucky
State University shall have waived all tuition
charges and fees. However, in the event that class-
es are full or the granting of free admission requires
additional units, Kentucky State University may
deny admission under this provision.
Tuition Waiver for Survivors of Police Officers,
Firefighters, or Volunteer Firefighters Killed or
Totally Disabled in the Line of Duty
Any person whose parent or any non-married
widow or widower whose spouse was a resident of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky upon becoming a
law enforcement officer, firefighter, or volunteer
firefighter and who was killed while in active ser-
vice, or training for active service or who died as a
result of a service-connected disability, shall not be
required to pay any matriculation or tuition fee
upon admission to Kentucky State University. Proof
of such relationship must be established by docu-
ment evidence.
A spouse (regardless of age) and any child above
the age of seventeen (17) and under the age of
twenty-three (23) of a permanently and totally dis-
abled law enforcement officer, firefighter, or volun-
teer firefighter injured while in active service or in
training for active service shall not be required to
pay any matriculation or tuition fee upon his/her
admission to Kentucky State University for the pur-
pose of obtaining a degree. The period of enroll-
ment shall not exceed thirty-six (36) months or the
minimum time required for a degree (whichever is
shorter). The disabled law enforcement officer must
be rated permanently and totally disabled in accor-
dance with statutory requirements. To entitle a
spouse or child to benefits under this provision, the
disabled law enforcement officer, firefighter, or vol-
unteer firefighter shall have been a resident of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky upon becoming a law
enforcement officer, firefighter, or-volunteer fire-
fighter. Proof of such spousal or filial relationship
must be established by document evidence.
Waiver of Tuition for War Orphans
Any person whose parent was killed while serv-
ing in the Armed Forces of the United States during
war time, who died as the result of a service-con-
nected disability while serving in the Armed Forces
of the United States during war time, or who is
rated 100% disabled for compensation purposes
and is a resident of Kentucky may be eligible to
receive tuition waiver. Interested persons may con-
tact the Department of Military Affairs, Kentucky
Center for Veterans Affairs, Louisville, Kentucky.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS FOR
FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENTS
(This policy relates only to eligibility for Financial
Aid, and is not applicable to academic standards.)
In accordance with the Higher Education
Amendment changes of 1992 (Public Law 94-482), a
student receiving federal financial aid must make
“satisfactory academic progress” toward successful
completion of degree requirements in order to con-
tinue receiving federal assistance.
At Kentucky State University, the programs
affected by the satisfactory academic progress
requirements are the Federal Pell Grant, Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
(FSEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS), Federal
Perkins Loan, William D. Ford Direct Student Loan
Program (Subsidized and Unsubsidized) and
Federal Direct Parent Loan (PLUS). Students receiv-
ing aid from any of these programs must maintain
satisfactory academic progress as outlined below
or face being placed on financial aid probation,
eventual denial of financial aid from these pro-
grams, or both.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 65
Undergraduate Students
To receive financial aid, satisfactory academic
progress for a full-time student at Kentucky State
University is defined as the completion of a mini-
mum of 18 credit hours per year for the first two
years (9 credit hours per semester) and 24 credit
hours per year for the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth
year (12 credit hours per semester) and maintaining
the minimum grade-point average as outlined in
the University policy.
Classification Minimum GPA Required
Freshmen 1.8
Sophomore and above 2.0
Full-time students are expected to complete
degree requirements in no more than six years (12
semesters) of enrollment. Therefore, eligibility for
financial aid from the federal programs listed above
vary depending on the types of aid received.
Students enrolled less than full-time (that is, half-
time or three-quarters time) must complete a pro-
portionate number of hours each year to maintain
satisfactory academic progress.
It is the student’s responsibility to notify the
Office of Student Financial Aid of the successful ful-
fillment of requirements. Receipt of aid is contin-
gent upon availability of funds available at the time
of request. A student’s academic progress will be
evaluated on an annual basis.
The Office of Student Financial Aid cannot award
financial aid to a student who has been suspended
by the University. If a student who has financial aid
is suspended, the unused portion of the award will
be canceled.
If the student is reinstated to the University and
has applied for financial aid, he or she will be con-
sidered eligible for aid when the requirements of
the satisfactory academic progress policy are met.
Receipt of financial aid is under the control of the
University and is contingent upon the availability of
funds at the time of the request.
MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWANCE
Upon completion of 160 attempted credit hours,
a student will be put on probation; and upon com-
pletion of 190 attempted credit hours, a student is
no longer eligible for Federal or State financial aid.
Special Conditions
1. INCOMPLETES (I grades) will not count
toward progress until such time as the | grade
is removed. At that time, hours completed will
count from the period of original registration.
66 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
2. WITHDRAWALS (W grades) will not count
toward progress but will be used for measur-
ing lack of satisfactory academic progress.
3. COURSE REPETITIONS will count toward
progress without penalty. Hours completed
through course repetition will be used to
replace hours and for computation of GPA, but
will not extend the six-year maximum time
frame for full-time students.
4. REMEDIAL COURSES will count toward
progress without penalty, but will not extend
the six-year maximum time frame for full-time
students.
Graduate Students
A full-time graduate student is required to enroll
in and successfully complete a minimum of 16 non-
repeated semester credit hours per academic year;
three-quarter-time students must complete a mini-
mum of 12 semester credit hours; and half-time
students must complete a minimum of 8 semester
credit hours.
Aid for Part of a Semester
If a student receives financial aid for any part of a
semester, that semester will count as a complete
semester of aid. Incompletes and withdrawals will
not be counted as meeting minimum course
requirements.
Review
Completed semester credit hours and grade-
point averages will be reviewed annually at the end
of the spring semester.
Re-establishing Satisfactory Academic Progress
Students may re-establish satisfactory academic
progress through one of the following methods:
l. Improving their semester credit hours and
cumulative grade-point average to meet the
required Satisfactory Academic Progress
standards during any subsequent period
(semester or summer session) of enrollment;
or
2. Successfully appealing to the Student
Financial Aid Committee.
Exceptions
The satisfactory progress requirements are
waived for one academic year for students who
have not enrolled at Kentucky State University for
one academic year. Students attending summer
session to re-establish eligibility may be granted
financial aid.
Notification of Withdrawal of Aid
Any student receiving financial aid who does not
meet the satisfactory progress requirements and
whose aid must be withdrawn will be given written
notice.
Right of Appeal

STUDENT AFFAIRS
The mission of the Student Affairs Office is to
develop, organize, administer, monitor, and coordi-
nate a variety of experiences, services, programs,
and activities in such a manner that they will have
the greatest impact on the growth and develop-
ment of a diverse student body. These experiences,
services, programs, and activities are administered
through the following areas: Athletics; Counseling
and Career Placement; Food Services; Health
Services: Residence Life; Student Publications;
Student Life; and the Office of Student Affairs.
Student Affairs is the central administrative office
for student non-academic activities. Its staff are
responsible for student conduct and discipline; for
housing exemptions; meal exemptions; offering
health insurance and excuses for class absences,
processing emergency student loan, counseling,
and coordinating all areas in the unit. In addition,
the Vice President for Student Affairs serves as
advisor to the Student Government Association.
STUDENT LIFE
Kentucky State University’s Student Life Office
serves as the focal point of University community
life. The Office administers social, cultural, educa-
tional, and recreational activities in the Hill Student
Center and supervises the use of Student Center
facilities by students, faculty/staff, and off-campus
individuals. The Office monitors the activities of all
campus organizations and serves in an advisory
capacity to a number of student organizations.
The Office fosters students’ growth and develop-
ment by creating opportunities for students to
sponsor and participate in social, cultural, spiritual,
and recreational programs. Students gain leader-
ship skills by taking on actual responsibilities of cit-
izenship, putting their learning into the context of
living, and applying their learning to practical situa-
tions.
The Office coordinates groups with common
interests in the successful completion of campus-
wide projects and activities; provides services and
facilities to carry out University-sponsored pro-
grams that contribute to the educational and cultur-
al growth of the University community; and coordi-
nates the scheduling of such activities on the
University’s campus by on- and off-campus groups
and organizations.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION
The Student Government Association (SGA) of
Kentucky State University, which is the student gov-
erning body, offers the students a voice in the
affairs of the campus community. The officers and
other members manage many student-only pro-
jects, and one member serves as a voting member
of the University’s Board of Regents. This organiza-
tion plays a part in scheduling or sponsoring con-
certs, dances, speakers, and other activities that
make up the social and cultural life of Kentucky
State University students. Whether planning enter-
tainment, presenting the student point of view to
the University administration, or encouraging acad-
emic excellence among the student body, partici-
pants in student government help shape their com-
munity.
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
At Kentucky State University, “a chance to partic-
ipate, and the opportunity to get involved” is much
more than a phrase; it is a fact of campus life. The
range of student organizations includes Greek fra-
ternities and sororities, honor societies, academic
clubs, literary groups, art/music clubs, and special
interest organizations (nursing, international stu-
dents, chess, etc.). Students with interests that are
not represented may inaugurate organizations
related to those interests. Interested students
should contact the Office of the Vice President for
Student Affairs for further information.
HOUSING AND RESIDENCE HALLS
The University provides housing for students
who wish to live on campus. Most full-time under-
graduate students live in the University’s residence
halls. A// full-time freshmen and sophomore stu-
dents, except veterans of at least two years’ active
military service, students who commute from their
parents’ or legal guardians’ homes, married stu-
dents, or students 21 years of age or older, must
live in campus housing.
Residence halls vary in size and architectural
style, and they provide double-room accommoda-
tions in most instances. A limited number of single
rooms are available on a first-come, first-served
basis. Some residence halls are reserved for fresh-
men.
An obvious advantage of the residence halls is
their proximity to classroom buildings, the library,
cafeteria, Student Center, gymnasium, and health
center. Students in the residence halls have access
to computer/study rooms, television lounges, game
rooms, kitchen and laundry facilities, vending ser-
vices, and telephones. Computer/study rooms are
available on a 24-hour basis in each of the resi-
dence halls. All the residences are professionally
staffed by Head Residents.
Meals are provided at the Underwood Cafeteria
in the Student Center. The Housing Office oversees
the operation of all University-owned and
University-operated housing facilities for students
and coordinates all programs, services, and activi-
ties associated with these facilities. The Office
encourages personal development through in-hall
programs, academic and social activities, and is
responsible for ensuring that students have an
atmosphere conducive to studying. Students are
encouraged and supported to assume responsibili-
ties that foster growth away from home.
The Housing Office ensures that the physical
condition of the residence halls is maintained at an
optimal level, and that opportunities are provided
for social interaction in the residence halls.
Security is available in all residence halls.
Applications for rooms in the residence halls are
received at any time; however, applications are
processed only after students have been officially
admitted to the University. Requests for room reser-
vations should be addressed to the Housing Office.
Each applicant must submit an application for
housing and $85.00 to cover the room reservation
fee ($45.00), as well as a damage deposit ($25.00)
key deposit ($10.00), and social fee ($5.00) before
receiving a room assignment. Every effort will be
made to honor an applicant’s preference of resi-
dence hall and roommate assignment; however, a
particular room is not guaranteed. Assignments are
made on a first-come, first-served basis according
to the date the deposit is received. Each student will
be required to sign a University Residence Hall
Contract, which sets forth the conditions for stu-
dent housing; he/she is then issued a housing per-
mit prior to being admitted to the residence hall.
One-half of the annual room fee must be paid
during each of the two semesters during the regu-
lar academic year. Summer session room fees are
due at the beginning of the term. All fees and
expenses are payable in accordance with the fee-
Payment schedule in the Student Expenses section
of this Catalogue.
CARE OF ROOMS
Students are expected to care for their rooms
and to keep them clean and orderly. Kentucky State
poeto attempts to make it possible for students
O enjoy good living conditions; therefore, it
pects those who occupy rooms in the residence
alls to keep them in good condition. Students will
be charged for any damage to University property.
Kentucky State University shall not be responsi-
ble for any theft or loss of property, or stolen prop-
erty in students’ rooms. Students may wish to pur-
chase personal property insurance for their belong-
ings. Information on such insurance may be
obtained from the Office of Student Affairs.
ARTICLES TO BE FURNISHED BY STUDENTS
Students must furnish their own bed linen (twin
bed sheets, pillow cases, comforters or blankets
and bedspreads), towels, wash cloths, and other
personal items.
STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES Š
Kentucky State's Office of Student Health
Services helps ensure the physical and mental
health of University students. It is staffed by a reg-
istered nurse and a licensed physician. The office is
located in the Betty White Health Center, and its
program is broad in scope, encompassing preven-
tive medicine, health education, physical and men-
tal health care, and referral. Students are provided
appropriate advice, medicines, comfort, and first
aid. When necessary, Student Health Services
refers students to appropriate health-care profes-
sionals or facilities in the Frankfort community or
beyond. All records, treatments, and referrals are
strictly confidential.
The services provided to students by Student
Health Services include the following:
— AIDS education;
- Educational counseling for alcohol and other
drug abuse;
Free screening test for hypertension,
tuberculosis, chlamydia, gonorrhea,
and breast cancer;
Health education workshops and seminars to
promote healthy life-styles;

licensed psychologist;

out-patient basis);

STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE
The University has an agreement with an
approved insurance company to cover students
against any accidental injury and illness either at
the University or at home during the period of cov-
erage. The cost to each eligible student will be
determined by the insurance company with each
new contract. Student health insurance is voluntary.
All undergraduate students enrolled in 9 hours or
more and graduate students enrolled in 6 hours or
more attending Kentucky State University during
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 81
the Fall and/or Spring semester(s), and those
enrolled in 4 or more hours in Summer session are
eligible for coverage and must sign up in the Office
of Student Affairs before the last day of late regis-
tration. Information on these insurance programs
may be obtained from the Office of Student Health
Services or the Office of Student Affairs. /t /s the
student’s responsibility to obtain health insurance,
and the University strongly urges each student to
obtain insurance coverage.
COUNSELING AND CAREER PLACEMENT
Choosing a career is an important concern of stu-
dents and their families. While premature decisions
are risky, failure to address career opportunities
must also be avoided. The University devotes con-
siderable attention to the goal of helping students
think seriously about the implication of their career
interests and then to locate practical ways to suc-
cessfully satisfy the requirements of those career
interests. It is appropriate to remind students that
there is time enough to make adequate plans for
careers. Indeed, what is essential is that students
realize that many different kinds of career and voca-
tional interests are available to them. Kentucky
State University’s Office of Counseling and Career
Placement assists students in need of academic,

THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest of
the five (5) constituent colleges of the University.
Consistent with the overall mission of the
University, the major goal of the College of Arts and
Sciences is to provide students with requisite acad-
emic skills, knowledge, and a sense of competence
which will allow them to assume leadership roles in
their respective fields of study. This College is orga-
nized into four degree granting divisions:
Behavioral and Social Sciences, Fine Arts;
Literature, Languages, and Philosophy; and
Mathematics and Sciences. Academic majors, lead-
ing to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science
degrees are offered in the following areas:
Applied Mathematics Liberal Studies
Art (Studio) (Student-Designed)
Biology Mathematics
Clinical Laboratory Music Performance
Sciences Political Science
Chemistry Psychology
English Sociology
History
In addition, a pre-engineering academic major
program is available in cooperation with the
University of Kentucky, Vanderbilt University, the
University of Maryland at College Park, and Florida
A & M University. Students study Applied
Mathematics for the first three years of their under-
graduate career. Upon successful completion of
requirements at Kentucky State University, pre-
engineering students are accepted by the
University of Kentucky, Vanderbilt University, the
University of Maryland at College Park, or Florida A
& M University for an additional two years of study
in any of several fields of engineering. A student
who successfully completes both portions of this
double-degree program is awarded a Bachelor of
Science degree in Applied Mathematics from
Kentucky State University and an engineering
degree in the specific field from the University of
Kentucky, Vanderbilt University, the University of
Maryland at College Park, or Florida A & M
University. Details of this particular program may be
found in the Division of Mathematics and Sciences
section of this Catalogue.
The College of Arts and Sciences, in conjunction
with the Land Grant Program and Division of
Mathematics and Sciences, offers a Master of
Science Degree in Aquaculture/Aquatic Sciences.
The Aquaculture Program is the only one of its kind
in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the sur-
rounding states. Aquaculture is the rearing of
86 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
aquatic organisms under controlled or semi-con-
trolled conditions. Interest in Aquaculture has
increased world-wide as fish consumption has
increased concurrently with decreasing catches of
wild fish. Aquaculture instruction at Kentucky State
University will provide students with basic knowl-
edge in fish nutrition and physiology as well as
practical experience in Aquaculture production of
freshwater aquatic organisms being studied at the
University. Aquaculture courses are taught by facul-
ty who are active researchers in the field.
The College of Arts and Sciences offers minors
in the following areas: African-American Studies,
Aquaculture, Art, Biology, Chemistry, Communi-
cations, English, French, History, Music,
Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Rural
Studies, Sociology, Spanish, and Speech and
Theater.
Students interested in earning credit for Teacher
Certification at the elementary or secondary level
may take courses offered by the appropriate divi-
sions in the College of Arts and Sciences in coop-
eration with the faculty of the Division of Education
and Human Services in the College of Professional
Studies. Details of these programs may be found in
the College of Professional Studies section else-
where in this Catalogue.
Students should refer to the appropriate subject
section in the College of Arts and Sciences for
course work requirements applicable to their par-
ticular programs. To earn a degree through the
College of Arts and Sciences in four years, students
must satisfy both academic program and University
course requirements. Summer session course work
and possibly an additional academic year may be
required in some cases. Every student is encour-
aged to work closely with his/her mentor or advisor.
BACHELOR OF ARTS IN LIBERAL STUDIES
(Student-designed major)
Through the College of Arts and Sciences or the
Whitney M. Young, Jr. College of Leadership
Studies, it is possible to earn a Bachelor of Arts
degree following a specially-designed, individual-
ized curriculum. A student-designed liberal studies
curriculum permits a student to pursue a course of
study which combines related subjects from differ-
ent disciplines for the sake of some specific
approved educational or career goal. The student-
designed curriculum option is intended to serve
students with special academic needs while main-
taining a level of coherence and integrity in the
course of study.
A student pursuing this degree must complete
the University’s Liberal Studies Requirements (or
their equivalent through the Whitney M. Young, Jr.
College of Leadership Studies). In the sophomore
year, the student should petition for permission to
follow a student-designed curriculum. The general
University requirement for a minimum of 128
semester credit hours for the Bachelor of Arts
degree must be met. This petition will define and
justify an interdisciplinary course of study. It will
specify the general topic and purpose, show how
particular courses from various academic units will
contribute to the general goal, and propose a real-
istic course-sequencing order.
The student will submit this petition to his/her
mentor or advisor, who will collaborate with the stu-
dent in refining the proposal. The mentor or advisor
will send the petition and his/her recommendation
to the dean of the College. The dean will transmit
the petition and his/her recommendation to the
Vice President for Academic Affairs. The proposal
will not be an approved course of study until it has
the written approval of the Vice President for
Academic Affairs.
A petition for a student-designed Bachelor of
Arts in Liberal Studies program of study may be
made after the sophomore year, but students who
wait until the junior or senior year to propose an
interdisciplinary curriculum will generally not be
able to finish their undergraduate course work with-
in four academic years.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 87
THE DIVISION OF
BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
The Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences is
committed to the University’s particular emphasis
on liberal studies. Baccalaureate degree programs
are offered in History, Political Science, Psychology,
and Sociology. The Division provides its students
with knowledge, skills, tools, and perspectives to
analyze and interpret phenomena in their selected
fields as well as in related disciplines. The intent is
to develop scholars who are knowledgeable and
well-versed in each of the behavioral and social sci-
ences.
In cooperation with the Division of Education and
Human Services, the Division offers certification in
Social Studies Education, which primarily requires
courses from the Division of Behavioral and Social
Sciences curriculum, along with professional
Education courses. Details of these programs may
be found in the Division of Education and Human
Services section of this Catalogue.
For some students pursuing teacher certification,
teaching endorsements in History, Social Studies,
and Sociology can be obtained by completing 9
semester credit hours of course work in a subject
area selected in consultation with the student's
advisor and with the Division of Education and
Human Services.
AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES (AAS)
The Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences
also offers a minor in African-American Studies.
This is an interdisciplinary program administered
by the faculty of History. Kentucky State University
is committed to continued scholarship, inquiry, and
education in African-American history and culture.
By drawing upon the resources of faculty in a broad
range of related studies, it is hoped that students
will develop an understanding of the African-
American experience from a variety of perspec-
tives.
Admission to this program requires a cumulative
grade-point average of 2.0, and it is recommended
that students complete the Liberal Studies
Requirements prior to pursuing the minor. Students
must successfully complete 18 semester credit
hours from a variety of interdisciplinary courses
selected in consultation with their advisor. The
courses include ART 303; ENG 409; GEO 212; HIS
314, HIS 365, HIS 366, and HIS 411; MUS 323 and
MUS 325; POS 462; and SOC 304.

THE DIVISION OF FINE ARTS
The Division of Fine Arts is comprised of the pro-
grams in Art, Music, Speech, Theatre, and
Communications. Baccalaureate degree programs
are offered in Studio Art and in Music Performance,
and minors are offered in Art, Music, and Speech
and Theatre. The arts broaden human potential and
provide room for creativity and growth. The arts
also enhance the quality of life and the develop-
ment of cognitive and expressive skills. Through
presentations such as concerts, theatre produc-
tions, art exhibitions, lectures, and workshops, the
arts provide an aesthetic and cultural environment
vital to academic life. The Division of Fine Arts pre-
pares its majors for a variety of professions in the
arts and related fields, and gives them a foundation
for graduate study.
The Division of Fine Arts supports the
University’s mission by providing liberal studies
courses in art and music; by providing students
with opportunities to develop and enhance effec-
tive oral and interpersonal communication skills for
life in today’s multicultural society; by providing
professional services to public schools; and by
preparing students to make significant contribu-
tions to society as fine arts educators, performers,
and visual artists. The Division promotes teaching
excellence through its maintenance of a low stu-
dent-faculty ratio and its emphasis on performance-
based goals.
ART
The Division of Fine Arts offers a Bachelor of Arts
degree in Studio Art and in cooperation with the
Division of Education and Human Services in the
College of Professional Studies, the course work
necessary for teacher certification in Art Education.
Details of the teacher certification program may be
found in the Division of Education and Human
Services sub-section of the College of Professional
Studies section of this Catalogue.
, Art courses at Kentucky State University are
designed to serve both those students who are
interested in Art as a profession and those who are
primarily interested in obtaining knowledge of vari-
ous art forms or opportunities for creative expres-
sion. Course offerings include those in drawing,
painting, printmaking, photography, film, commer-
cial arts, design, sculpture, ceramics, weaving, inte-
rior design, art history, and art education.
Students have the option of pursuing either a
major in Studio Art with a minor or a major in
Studio Art with one area of specialization. Art areas
of specialization may be selected from art history,
ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, print-
making, sculpture, or weaving.

Studio Art Minor
This is a non-teaching minor. A minor in Studio
Art requires the completion of 21 semester credit
hours. Specific course requirements include ART
110, 112, 113, 201, and 202; and 6 semester credit
hours of studio art electives at the 200 level or
above. Enrollment in studio art courses is generally
limited to 10-15 students. The instructor provides
personal guidance and attention to each student.
Studio spaces are available for students to have
individual working areas. Studio and academic
opportunities are enriched for Art majors by field
trips to galleries and museums, and by a series of
guest lecturers to the University. In addition,
Jackson Hall Gallery hosts local, regional, and
national art exhibitions for the entire University.
The nature of the study of Art at Kentucky State
University requires the stipulation of certain regula-
tions. They are as follows:
- Studio Art Courses. For each studio semester
credit hour, two hours of work in class and a
minimum of one hour outside of class are
required per week.
— Art Exhibits. All Art majors are expected to
attend the opening of each campus exhibit
sponsored by the Art Area.
- Sophomore Review. While enrolled in the
fourth semester of the Art curriculum, each
student must present examples of his or her
art work from each of the studio art areas for
review by members of the Art faculty. After
this review the Art faculty will advise the stu-
dent whether upper-level courses may be
taken.
- Senior Review and Exhibit. Each Art major's
work is reviewed during the senior year by a
committee of Art faculty members to ascertain
whether the work is of sufficient quality to
warrant a public exhibit. If a student’s work
does not pass the review, it must be resubmit-
ted. Art majors are required to have a public,
on-campus exhibit of their art work prior to
graduation.
- Graduates. Each Art graduate will be asked to
donate a piece of art to the University’s per-
manent art collection.
- Non-Art Majors. Non-Art majors may take any
introductory Art course and any advanced Art
course for which prerequisites are waived by
the instructor of the course.
- Art Education Majors. An Art Education major
must comply with all of the above-stated reg-
ulations and those stipulated elsewhere in this
Catalogue in the College of Professional
Studies section.
For specific requirements to receive teacher certi-
fication, interested students should consult the
Catalogue section under the Division of Education
and Human Services. Students seeking teacher
certification should refer to the admission criteria
and procedures included in the College of
Professional Studies section of this Catalogue.

MUSIC
The Area of Music offers two baccalaureate
degree programs: the Bachelor of Music in
Performance and the Bachelor of Music Education.
The Music Education degree course work, which
leads to teacher certification and is accredited by
the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher
Education (NCATE) and by the Kentucky
Department of Education, is offered in conjunction
with the Division of Education and Human Services
in the College of Professional Studies. Interested
students should refer to that section of this
Catalogue for complete degree requirements.
Kentucky State University is an accredited institu-
tional member of the National Association of
Schools of Music.
A major in Music Performance requires the suc-
cessful completion of the University’s Liberal
Studies Requirements, 82/83 semester credit hours
of Music courses, and 9 semester credit hours of
free elective courses. This curriculum requires the
completion of 140/142 hours. Students seeking
admission into this program are required to per-
form a qualifying audition before registration in any
major applied course work and possibly during or
before the fall semester of the freshman year. Upon
acceptance, students must select a concentrated
area of study (instrument or voice) in preparation
for careers in music performance and studio teach-
ing. Because of the vigorous preparations required
to become a fully-trained and functioning musician,
summer session course work and possibly an addi-
tional academic year of study may be required
toward the completion of all curricular require-
ments.
Liberal Studies Requirements
Each music student must complete all University
Liberal Studies Requirements except ART 130
(Intro. to Art) and MUS 130 (Intro. to Music).
Music Placement and Proficiency Examinations
Placement examinations and auditions are given
during registration week of the fall and spring
semesters in music theory, piano, and applied
music (principal instrument or voice) to all entering
students intending to declare a major in Music. All
prospective Music majors who do not pass the
Music Theory Placement Examination must enroll
in MUS 099 (Fundamentals of Music).
Music students with principal applied areas other
than piano must demonstrate proficiency on the
Piano Placement Examination during their first
semester of matriculation and before registering for
any piano course work. All Performance and Music
Education majors who do not pass the Piano
100 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
Placement Examination must enroll in the class
piano sequence (MUS 110, 111, 210, and 211) until
successful completion of the placement examina-
tion, at which time they may matriculate in the
required music minor applied piano sequence
(MUS 120, 220, 320, and 420) for a total of 4 semes-
ter credit hours. Additionally, during matriculation
through the minor applied piano sequence, stu-
dents must demonstrate sufficient piano skills by
successfully completing the Piano Proficiency
Examination.
‘Major Areas of Performance
Each music student is required to designate a
principal performance area of major applied music
study and must enroll in the performance area each
semester for credit until recital requirements are
completed. Students may also earn credit in sec-
ondary performance areas (minor applied).
Changes in the principal applied music area or
degree program may be made only with the con-
sent of the Music Area faculty.
The semester credit hour requirements for
applied music courses vary, depending upon the
music degree program in which the student is
enrolled. Each student enrolled in an applied music
course is required to practice at least one hour per
day for each semester credit hour being earned. All
performance majors are required to complete 21
semester credit hours of major applied music
courses (MUS 161, 162, 261, 262, 361, 362, 461,
and 462) as well as register for Applied Music
Laboratory, in conjunction with major applied stud-
ies each semester. Music faculty adhere to strict
attendance polices for Applied Music Laboratory.
Failure of any student to adhere to the attendance
policies may result in the failure to successfully
complete the applied music course and possible
expulsion from the degree program.
Instrumental Emphasis
Performance majors with instrumental emphasis
are required to complete 3 semester credit hours of
minor applied elective courses (MUS 120, 220, 320,
or 420) in addition to 12 semester credit hours of
ensemble participation. Instrumental ensemble
requirements are 4 semester credit hours of MUS
385 (Wind Ensemble) or MUS 382 (Symphonic
Band), 4 semester credit hours in the appropriate
instrumental chamber music ensemble (MUS 387-
Woodwind, MUS 355-Brass, or MUS 389-
Percussion), 1 semester credit hour of MUS 355
(Jazz Ensemble), 1 semester credit hour of MUS
358 (Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble),
and 2 semester credit hours of MUS 381 (Marching

Pedagogy). Keyboard performance majors are
required to register for MUE 349 (Keyboard
Pedagogy).
Music Seminars, Juries, and Recitals
The Area of Music at Kentucky State University
realizes that student recitals are an integral part of
the music educational process, and faculty are
committed to the highest possible standards in all
such performances. Regular attendance at semi-
nars, concerts, and recitals sponsored by the Area
of Music is required as part of the laboratory expe-
riences of applied music instruction. Therefore, all
Music majors must register for applied studies and
laboratories each semester. Attendance records are
kept by faculty members, and failure to attend lab-
oratories, concerts, and recitals may result in the
failure of the accompanying applied music course
and expulsion from the degree program.
Students majoring in Music must perform before
a jury at the end of each semester except when
preparing for the senior recital; they are evaluated
in their performance area by the Music faculty.
Evaluations are used to determine satisfactory
progress in applied music study.
All Music majors performing recitals must enroll
for credit in a recital course and pass a recital hear-
ing approved by the Faculty Jury/Recital
Committee. This hearing must be given a minimum
4 four weeks prior to the scheduled recital. Music
Selb eal majors are required to perform a
e Aiga (MUS 399) and a Senior Recital (MUS
: - Music Education majors are required to per-
orm a Senior Recital (MUS 499).
Other Recitals
The Area further realizes that students will
matriculate through its applied music sequence
who do not choose the option of majoring in Music.
These Students may opt to perform either a junior
or senior recital as evidence of the progress which
has been made as a result of such applied music
instruction. Although students may be non-majors
standards and requirements are no less stringent,
and all such recitals must be sanctioned by the Area
of Music. Furthermore, all non-majors performing
recitals must enroll for credit.in and pass a recital
hearing approved by the Area Faculty Jury. This
hearing must be given a minimum of four weeks
prior to the scheduled recital depending upon the
applied music level. Non-majors must register for
either the Junior Recital (MUS 399) or a Senior
Recital (MUS 499) course and are prohibited from
performing any such recital during the freshman or
sophomore level applied music instruction.
Support Courses in Music
Music theory is the basis and foundation of any
serious study of music. Kentucky State University’s
music theory program is competency based
including an intensive study of analysis, composi-
tion, sight-singing, ear training (dictation and critical
listening), and keyboard instruction as related to
theory. The music theory program is organized in
historical sequence, and students are required to
complete a total of 16 semester credit hours of
courses in this area (MUS 101, 102, 201, 202, and
301). Students with an instrumental emphasis take
MUS 303 (Orchestration) and MUS 403 (Arranging);
students with a vocal emphasis take MUS 403
(Arranging). Additional requirements are the music
history and literature sequence (MUS 321, 322, 324
326, and 327); the conducting sequence (MUE 353
Choral Conducting and MUE 354 Instrumental
Conducting); 2 semester credit hours of a limited
Music elective; and 3 semester credit hours of a
performance literature elective, for a total of 37
semester credit hours of support courses in Music.
Music Theory Laboratory
rs: neet of Music Theory Laboratory is to
inforce class instruction in music theor
(MUS 101, MUS 102, MUS 201, and MUS 202),
enabling each student, through work with tape-
recorded listening exercises, to develop basic
music theory competencies. Specific competencies
to be mastered include aural recognition of musical
intervals, modes, scales, triads, rhythmic and met-
ric patterns; one- to four-part dictation (harmonic
and contrapuntal); and basic analytical skills.
Competency assessments in the areas of sight-
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 101
singing, ear training (dictation), analysis, keyboard
theory, and critical listening are administered to
each student during and at the end of each course
in the freshman and sophomore theory sequence.
Students are not permitted to advance to the next
music theory course without first mastering the
required competencies.
Minor in Music Performance
A minor in Music Performance requires the com-
pletion of 21 semester credit hours. Specific course
requirements include MUS 101 and 102 (Music
Theory); MUS 321 and 322 (Music History); 2
semester credit hours of piano class; MUS 120,
220, 320, and 420 (Minor Applied elective); and 3
semester credit hours music ensemble courses.
Although not required, it is recommended that stu-
dents who choose to minor in Music Performance
elect MUS 130 (Introduction to Music) as their
Liberal Studies Requirement in fine arts.
For specific requirements to receive teacher certi-
fication, interested students should consult the

SPEECH, COMMUNICATION, AND THEATRE
The Area of Speech, Communication, and
Theatre seeks to develop an awareness of the
methods and techniques necessary for the continu-
al improvement of human communication as a
social and professional tool. Courses are designed
to help students understand the methods and tech-
niques used by the media systems, to assist stu-
dents in their understanding and appreciation of
cultural heritages, and to help them develop strong
and healthy relationships. The University has two
theaters and several rehearsal rooms for classes
and private practice, which serve as laboratories for
instruction and facilities for University-sponsored
theatrical productions. Faculty and students partici-
pate in prominent media-related and theatrical
organizations. A minor in Speech, Communication,
and Theatre requires the completion of 18 semester
credit hours in addition to SPE 103 Interpersonal

ments. Students may concentrate in any of the
three components. Specific course requirements
include:
Speech Concentration: SPE 200 (Public Speaking),
SPE 302 (Interracial/Intercultural Communica-
tion), SPE 304 (Oral Interpretation), and SPE 315

credit hours must be selected in consultation
with the student’s minor advisor.
Theatre Concentration: THE 204 (Introduction to
Theatre), THE 210 (World Drama), THE 250

advisor. Approval of the area advisor is neces-
sary for the selection of these electives.

MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Course work in French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Spanish, and Korean is offered by mem-
bers of the faculty of the Division of Literature,
Languages, and Philosophy. Coursework in foreign
languages emphasizes instruction in the fundamen-
tals of syntax, pronunciation, and idiomatic Mep T
sions. There is a four-way approach to teaching the
foreign language (listening/comprehension, wa?
versing, reading, and writing). Instruction takes
place in both the classroom and the foreign lan-
guage laboratory, where students practice ages
and pronunciation and where they watch video
material, films, or documentaries In the foreign ak
guage they study. Intermediate and upper-leve
courses stress the acquisition of communicative
skills and cultural or literary information.
Students who pursue a baccalaureate degree are
required to complete 6 semester credit hours of è
foreign language (101 and 102) as part of the Libera
Studies Requirements, or to demonstrate aie
tary knowledge in a foreign language by making the
necessary score on an AP examination or on a
CLEP examination (see the Catalogue section on
Credit by Examination/Certification and credit for
Life Experience). Foreign language de ited
examinations are also available to those who see
advanced placement in a Foreign language or
exemption from the foreign language requirement
(see the Catalogue subsection on Proficiency
ination Programs).
pie eat aiin language courses 101 and
102 must be taken in sequence. Elementary cours-
es (FRE 101/102, ITA 101/102, and SPA 101/102) are
scheduled every semester. Elementary German
courses (GER 101/102) and Conversational
Japanese courses (JPN 171/172) are offered upon
request by a sufficient number of interested stu-
dents.

mic minor in either French or Spanish. For a minor
in a foreign language, a student must complete a
minimum of 18 semester credit hours in either lan-
guage above the 100 level. A minor in French

ate academic study of philosophy is an impor-
tant part of a liberal studies institution. Accordingly,
Kentucky State University offers a minor in
Philosophy through the Division of paa
Languages, and Philosophy. While the study o
Philosophy can benefit any student, the minor I
especially recommended for the following kinds O
students: (a) students pursuing a pre-law curricu-
lum, (b) prospective pre-health/medical iringna
als, (c) computer science majors, (d) majors in the
humanities, (e) students in the Whitney M. Young,
Jr. College of Leadership Studies, (f) students desir-
ing to prepare for and excel in the Integrative
Studies (IGS) sequence, and (g) students with inter-
est in careers in theological schools and religious
ions.
ji e Philosophy program at Kentucky State
University offers courses in a variety of basic and
specialized philosophical disciplines. The main
thrusts of the program are the development of ana-
lytical and critical reasoning skills and a focus upon
evaluating arguments for and against important
contemporary and classical philosophical propos-
als. The Philosophy program offers occasional col-
loquia featuring guest speakers, and is closely tied
to the Institute for Liberal Studies, which has vari-
ous scholarly and cultural activities.
Minor in Philosophy ! )
A minor in Philosophy requires the completion of
i ifi uire-
18 semester credit hours. Specific puros req
ments include PHI 200, 210, and 310; and =

THE DIVISION OF MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCES
Inquiry into the nature of physical phenomena is
among the most persistent of human concerns.
During the past century, the scope and pace of such
inquiry have broadened and accelerated, and its
influence on our civilization has become pervasive.
The discoveries and consequences of scientific
inquiry have profoundly affected the human race
both in daily life and in practically all domains of
intellectual life.
The Division of Mathematics and Sciences
believes that an understanding of mathematics and
the sciences is an indispensable part of a sound
education. Course work in the Division provides
students with instruction that addresses fundamen-
tal issues in the broad range of scientific inquiry.
The Division seeks to instill in students an appreci-
ation of critical thinking as well as knowledge of
specific subjects. Students who decide to major in
one of the disciplines of the Division undertake spe-
cialized study and research in their selected fields.
The Division offers majors in Applied
Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Clinical
Laboratory Sciences, and Mathematics. The major
in Mathematics leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree,
and the others lead to a Bachelor of Science
degree. Minors are offered in Aquaculture, Biology,
Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. The degrees
in Biology and Mathematics may be obtained with
certification to teach in public secondary schools
(see the Division of Education and Human Services
sub-section of the College of Professional Studies
section in this Catalogue for details on these certifi-
cation programs).
The student majoring in Applied Mathematics
pursues a five-year curriculum leading to two
degrees: a Bachelor of Science degree in
Engineering from the University of Kentucky, the
University of Maryland at College Park, Vanderbilt
University, or Florida A & M University and a
Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied
Mathematics from Kentucky State University. More
information about this program may be found in the
sub-section describing the Mathematics offerings
or by contacting the Chairperson of the Division of
Mathematics and Sciences.
The Division offers a curriculum leading to the
Bachelor of Science degree in Clinical Laboratory
Sciences, as well as other programs related to the
health professions. Students interested in medi-
cine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry,
physical therapy, pharmacy, or other allied health
fields should consult the Chairperson of the
Division of Mathematics and Sciences or the Pre-
Health Professions Advisors. The following section
of this Catalogue describing Allied Health offerings
also contains information relevant to these fields.
NOTE: Students must complete all prerequisite
courses in the Division of Mathematics and
Sciences with a grade of “C” or better before they
may attempt the next course in a course sequence.
ALLIED HEALTH AND PRE-HEALTH PROGRAMS
Allied Health
Allied Health offerings at Kentucky State
University include pre-physical therapy, pre-
cytotechnology, pre-nuclear medicine technology,
pre-optometry, and pre-pharmacy. For these pro-
grams, the Division offers coursework that prepares
the student for admission to upper-level courses at
a cooperating institution. Depending on the pro-
gram, the cooperating institution at this time is
either the School of Allied Health at the University
of Louisville or the University of Kentucky School of
Allied Health.
Medicine and Dentistry
The Division offers uniquely attractive programs
for Kentuckians interested in entering medical or
dental schools. The medical and dental schools of
the University of Kentucky and the University of
Louisville offer admission each year to a number of
qualified Kentucky State University graduates not
exceeding three percent of the professional
schools’ entering classes. Kentucky State University
students benefit from this arrangement because
they compete for admission only with other quali-
fied applicants from Kentucky State University. No
other college or university in Kentucky has been
given this opportunity to establish such an advan-
tageous program for its students.
The student must fulfill specific requirements to
qualify for admission to a medical or dental school
under this program. They include the following:
- Any major is acceptable, but students must
complete at least one year of biology with lab-
oratory, one year of general chemistry with
laboratory, one year of organic chemistry with
laboratory, one year of physics with laborato-
ry, one year of college mathematics or one
semester of calculus, one year of English, and
other courses that will help assure success,
such as those in advanced communication
skills, logic or computer science, and psychol-
ogy.

— At least 24 out of 40 points on the non-
academic portion of the Total Performance
Index are required. These points are deter-
mined by the medical schools in the following
categories, each of which has 10 possible
points: humanitarian, cultural, and service
activities; letters of recommendation from
pre-medical advisors and others; interperson-
al, group leadership; under-represented
minorities; and special avocational, artistic, or
other professional accomplishments, as well
as residency in medically or dentally under-
served areas of Kentucky.
- Students must take the Medical College
Admission Test (MCAT) or Dental Admission
Test (DAT) for reporting purposes; however,
these examinations will not be used as admis-
sion criteria for students applying through the
cooperative program.
Academic advisors at Kentucky State University
work closely with pre-medical and pre-dental stu-
dents to ensure that they fulfill all of the require-
ments for admission to professional schools.
Students who need more information about
these programs should consult the Chairperson of
the Division of Mathematics and Sciences or the
Pre-Health Professions advisors as early in their
academic careers as possible.
Veterinary Medicine
No colleges or universities in the Commonwealth
of Kentucky offer training in veterinary medicine.
However, the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary
Education administers a Southern Regional
Education Board Program in Kentucky through
which qualified Kentucky resident students may be
accepted to the veterinary medicine schools of
Auburn University and Tuskegee University. (At the
time of publication of this Catalogue, the Council
had contracted for 36 entering spaces annually: 34
at Auburn and two at Tuskegee.)
Students accepted under the regional plan are
relieved of the obligation of paying out-of-state
fees, and their expenses are identical to those of in-
state students. Formal applications must be filed
through the Council on Postsecondary Education,
which reviews these applications and submits
those selected to Auburn or Tuskegee for admis-
sion approval. Any student interested in veterinary
medicine should have completed 80 semester cred-
it hours of pre-professional training with a mini-
mum grade-point average of 2.5; however, prefer-
ence is given to those students who have satisfied
the requirements for a baccalaureate degree.
Interested students should consult the
Chairperson of the Division of Mathematics and
Sciences or the Pre-Veterinary Professions Advisor
for further details and requirements.

OPTOMETRY
Optometry is the profession of examining the
eyes for defects and faults of refraction, and pre-
scribing corrective lenses or exercises.
The Commonwealth of Kentucky sponsors a pro-
gram that enables 15 qualified pre-optometry stu-
dents who are Kentucky residents to gain admis-
sion each year to the Southern College of
Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee and the optom-
etry schools of Indiana University and the
University of Alabama at Birmingham. Eight enter-
ing spaces are reserved at Southern, four at Indiana
University, and three at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham.
Applications for admission must be submitted
two semesters in advance of completion of the pre-
optometry requirements and will be acted upon if
the transcripts show a reasonable possibility that all
requirements will be met. Each applicant is
required to take the Optometry Admission Test
which is designed to measure general academic
ability and scientific knowledge. Students who have
a baccalaureate degree with a major in a science
field are often fully prepared for admission to the
School of Optometry. Those with a degree in a non-
science field may be required to take additional
course work.

BIOLOGY
Biology is the scientific study of living systems.
The importance of biology in today’s world is self-
evident. Biology instruction at Kentucky State
University provides students with a basic knowl-
edge of the field. The curriculum includes the study
of viruses, bacteria, animals, plants, gene regula-
tion, and theoretical and practical ecology.
Students are encouraged to master basic principles
of scientific inquiry while familiarizing themselves
with the traditional aspects of a sound liberal edu-
cation.
The Division of Mathematics and Sciences offers
programs leading to the Bachelor of Science
degree in Biology, with and without teacher certifi-
cation. Details on the former may be found else-
where in this Catalogue in the sub-section on the
Division of Education and Human Services of the
College of Professional Studies section. Minors in
Biology and Aquaculture are also offered.
Major in Biology
The Biology curriculum is well suited for the stu-
dent who plans to enter the workforce immediately
upon graduation or intends to continue his/her
course of study in graduate, medical, or dental
school. The student who majors in Biology must
complete a minimum of 135/136 semester credit
hours, including the University’s Liberal Studies
Requirements (with BIO 111 in place of BIO 101)
and the following 27-30 semester credit hour
Biology core course requirements: BIO 115, 210,
212, 302, 303, 307, 316, 401, 408, and 410; and at
least 10/11 semester credit hours of Biology elec-
tives selected from BIO 301, 304, 305, 308, 309, 311,
315, 317, 318, 406, 410, 415, 417 or 491. The
Biology major must earn a “C” or above in the core
and elective courses and in the following required
37 semester credit hours of support courses: CHE
101, 102, 201, 202, and 315; MAT 120 and 131; and
PHY 207 and 208. The program requires the com-
pletion of 6 semester credit hours of free electives
and 3 semester credit hours of limited electives at
the 300/400 level.
Students who intend to major in Biology are
required to take BIO 111 and CHE 101 instead of
other natural science electives of the Liberal
Studies Requirements.
118 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
Minor in Biology
A minor in biology requires the completion of a
minimum of 21 semester credit hours in Biology. A
student pursuing a minor in Biology will be required
to successfully complete BIO 111, 210, and 212. A
student must select one course from the remaining
core requirements. One of two courses may be
selected that are not from the core requirements in
order to complete the required 21 semester credit
hours. BIO 401 and 410 can be taken, but they can-
not be used as part of the required 21 semester
credit hours for a minor in Biology.
Minor in Aquaculture
Aquaculture is the rearing of aquatic organisms
under controlled or semi-controlled conditions.
Interest in aquaculture has increased world wide as
fish consumption has increased concurrently with
decreasing catches of wild fish. In Kentucky and the
southern United States, aquaculture production
focuses on raising freshwater species commercial-
ly. Aquaculture instruction at Kentucky State
University will provide students with basic knowl-
edge in fish nutrition, diseases, and physiology, as
well as practical experience in aquaculture produc-
tion of freshwater aquatic organisms such as cat-
fish, paddlefish, freshwater shrimp, and others
being studied at the University’s aquaculture
research facility. Courses in the minor are taught by
faculty who are active researchers in the Univer-
sity’s aquaculture program. The minor provides
training sufficient to support further study at the
graduate level and enough practical aspects for the
student who plans to enter the work force immedi-
ately upon graduation.
A minor in Aquaculture requires the completion
of 19 semester credit hours. Specific course
requirements include BIO 250, 260, 311, 321, 406,
and at least 1 semester credit hour of BIO 491.
For specific requirements to receive teacher certi-
fication, interested students should consult the
Catalogue section under the Division of Education
and Human Services. Students seeking teacher
certification should refer to the admission criteria
and procedures included in the College of
Professional Studies section of this Catalogue.

CHEMISTRY
The science of Chemistry is concerned with the
structure, composition, and reactions of matter.
Chemistry instruction at the University is designed
to familiarize the student with current views of
these concepts. The relevance of Chemistry is read-
ily apparent, for the universe and the life forms it
contains are chemical systems undergoing specific
chemical reactions. To understand the universe and
ourselves, it is necessary to understand the laws
governing these chemical systems. A deeper
knowledge of Chemistry is necessary to solve many
of humanity’s problems: feeding the hungry, heal-
ing the sick, and bettering living conditions in gen-
eral. Course work in Chemistry at Kentucky State
University considers both experimental and theo-
retical topics and emphasizes their interdepen-
dence.
The Division of Mathematics and Sciences offers
a 136/139 semester credit hour program leading to
the Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. A
minor in Chemistry is also offered. Each student
should note that, depending on his/her level of
preparation, summer session coursework and pos-
sibly an additional academic year of study may be
required.
Major in Chemistry
The courses required for a major in Chemistry
are CHE 101, 102, 201, 202, 203, 307, 308, 312, 314,
315, and either 401 or 402 (a total of 41/44 semes-
ter credit hours). The support courses required for
a major in Chemistry are COS 101 and 110; MAT
131 and 132; one additional upper-level Mathemat-
ics course; and PHY 211 and 212 (a total of 29
semester credit hours). The student must earn a
grade of at least “C” in the required and support
courses.
Minor in Chemistry
A minor in Chemistry requires the completion of
20 semester credit hours. Specific course require-
ments include CHE 101, 102, 201, and 202; the

MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS
Knowledge of mathematical facts and proce-
dures is indispensable to a satisfactory understand-
ing of every field of science. This is true for both the
physical and biological sciences, and even the
humanities are influenced by the traditions of math-
ematical knowledge. Mathematical skills and
processes are central to the development and prac-
tice of critical thought and expression. Physics is
the science that seeks to employ mathematics to
explain the universe and its phenomena. Courses in
Mathematics and Physics at Kentucky State
University are designed to integrate theoretical and
practical topics.
The Division of Mathematics and Sciences offers
degrees in Applied Mathematics (a double-degree,
pre-engineering course of study) and in Mathemat-
ics. The latter may be with teacher certification, and
details on this option may be found elsewhere in
this Catalogue in the sub-section on the Division of
Education and Human Services of the College of
Professional Studies section. Minors in Mathemat-
ics and Physics are also offered.
All students entering Kentucky State University
who have not met the Liberal Studies Requirements
for Mathematics (by a transfer course from another
university or college) are placed in appropriate
Mathematics courses on the basis of their compos-
ite Mathematics ACT score.
Applied Mathematics (Pre-engineering)
The Applied Mathematics (Pre-engineering)
major is a five-year course of study offered jointly
by Kentucky State University and four other univer-
sities. The student in this program attends Kentucky
State University for three years of study in the pre-
engineering area of his/her choice, and then trans-
fers to the second institution for two additional
years of work. A student currently may choose the
University of Kentucky, the University of Maryland
at College Park, Vanderbilt University, or Florida A €:
M University. Upon successful completion of the
first year at the second institution, the student is
awarded the Bachelor of Science degree in Applied
Mathematics by Kentucky State University. The stu-
dent is awarded the bachelor of science degree in
his/her selected field of engineering by the second
institution after the final year of study.
The suggested curricula at the end of this sub-
section list the courses for the student who choos-
es the University of Kentucky for the final two years
of study. Courses at the University of Maryland at
College Park, Vanderbilt University, and Florida A €
M University are similar, and more information may
be obtained from the Pre-engineering advisors. lt
should be noted that each engineering specializa-
tion has its own curriculum. All cooperating univer-
sities offer degree programs in the following engi-
neering fields: chemical, civil, electrical, and
mechanical.
In addition, the following specialities are offered
at the universities indicated: aerospace (UM); agri-
cultural (UK, UM); biomedical and environmental
(Vanderbilt); fire protection (UM); materials, mining
(UK); and transportation (Vanderbilt). Descriptions
of courses required at the University of Kentucky,
the University of Maryland at College Park,
Vanderbilt University, and Florida A € M University
may be found in those universities’ catalogues. The
total number of semester credit hours in the
Applied Mathematics (Pre-engineering) curricula
range from 137/144.
Students interested in engineering should note
that, due to possible changes in the engineering
accreditation standards and possible curriculum
changes at the cooperating universities, some
courses listed in the suggested curriculum ladders
may change periodically. It is essential that students
interested in engineering maintain close contact
with the Pre-engineering advisors in the Division of
Mathematics and Sciences.

INTEGRATIVE STUDIES ;
Integrative Studies is a basic component of the
53 semester credit hour Liberal Studies pec
ments. It elicits from faculty and ee ee co
mitment to analyze and interpret a body A kio
edge that links the perennial questions of hu a
life with the greatest works of history, Lee ae ;
philosophy, and the sciences. It challenges meet
and students to view learning as an sini
process by suggesting conceptual bridges w 7
span historical ns A perspectives, a
ious disciplines of study. _ de F
geor Studies emphasizes critical ies E
lytical ability in dealing with events, Weyer a
ideas, artifacts, and texts that have contribu 3
human achievements. The program cone Sii a
seven seminars, four of which are required O E
baccalaureate degree-seeking students ne enr de
led in the Whitney M. Young, Jr. Col ee
Leadership Studies. Three of these courses
200, 201, and 300) are organized as a seque
giving students the opportunity to encounter a ke
ety of cultural and intellectual aape mea A
sequence begins with ancient civilization
Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, and Greece and
extends to the 20th century. The fourth course
required is selected by the student from courses
exploring specific world cultures (IGS 301, 302, 303,
or 304). In addition to those required courses,
Integrative Studies also offers a Senior Seminar
(IGS 499) for students who are interested in explor-
ing a specific interdisciplinary theme. The program
became an integral part of the curriculum in the fall
of 1983. Faculty from all disciplines are are invited
to participate. Completion of ENG 101 with a grade
of “C” or better is a prerequisite for all IGS courses.
The number of Integrative Studies semester
credit hours required of transfer students varies in
accordance with the number of transfer credit
hours accepted by the University toward fulfillment
of graduation requirements. The University follows
the guidelines for the transfer of general education
requirements as established by the Kentucky
Council on Postsecondary Education. Transfer stu-
dents should read the section of the Catalogue that
deals with the transfer of credits, particularly the
section discussing the “33-Hour Core Component”
of the Certification of General Education Blocks. It is
the basis for the Integrative Studies requirements
for transfer students. Those requirements are as
follows:
— All students entering the University with no
inter-/multi-disciplinary course work in the
humanities must successfully complete 12
semester credit hours of Integrative Studies.
- Students entering the University with three (3)
credits of inter-/multi-disciplinary course work
in the humanities must successfully complete
nine (9) semester credit hours of Integrative
Studies.
- Students entering the University with six (6)
credits of inter-/multi-disciplinary humanities
must successfully complete six (6) semester
credit hours of Integrative Studies.
Students who transfer with courses similar to the
University’s Integrative Studies offerings may be
exempted from these courses, with the consent of
the Coordinator of Integrative Studies or the Dean
of the Whitney M. Young, Jr. College of Leadership
Studies. Those exemptions will be determined on
an individual basis.
INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
In view of the emergence of a new world order
and of an increasing international interdependence,
Students at Kentucky State University need to be
Prepared to participate in this new world. They
need to be exposed to an international curriculum;
One which enables them to interact effectively with
People from other countries; one which enables
them to understand and appreciate a culture other
than their own, and one which enables them to
compete effectively in a global arena.
In view of the above, Kentucky State University
offers a minor program in International Studies. A
minor in International Studies requires the comple-
tion of 21 semester credit hours. To pursue an
International Studies minor, the student must take a
preliminary language proficiency test in French,
Spanish, or (by petition) another language relevant
to the focus area. The minor includes a course in
Geography (GEO 102) and a two-semester foreign
language course sequence (FRE/SPA 375 and
FRE/SPA 376, or another approved language), or
demonstrated proficiency beyond the intermediate
level. The remaining 12 semester hours for the
minor are carefully selected from a list of approved
courses emphasizing an international perspective.
The following is a list of approved courses: ART
303, 308; ECO 329, 425; ENG 312; FRE 311, 312,
413; GEO 102, 212; HIS 365, 366, 424; IGS 301,
303; JPN 171; MGT 470, 490; POS 301, 462, 464;
PUA 304, 404; REL 201; SOC 303, 304; SPA 311,
312, 404; SPE 302; WYC 491; Special Topics
(including WYC 331, 332, 431, 432 with internation-
al emphasis).
LEADERSHIP STUDIES CURRICULUM
The curriculum in the Whitney M. Young, Jr.
College of Leadership Studies is unique; there is no
other quite like it in any public university in the
nation. The Director of the National Endowment for
the Humanities designated the Whitney M. Young,
Jr. College of Leadership Studies as one of the five
most innovative and promising liberal studies pro-
grams in the nation. It is one of twenty-three honors
colleges in the United States listed by the National
Collegiate Honors Council and has the second
largest number of faculty among these honors col-
leges. The Whitney M. Young, Jr. College of
Leadership Studies is committed to offering a stim-
ulating, high quality, rigorous undergraduate edu-
cation in liberal studies, preparing students for pro-
fessional study in law, medicine, the ministry, or
graduate school. Graduates of this program have
gone on into education, business, computer sci-
ence, law, and many other fields. Beyond questions
of education for a career, the Whitney M. Young, Jr.,
College of Leadership Studies program develops
skills of thinking and imagining that will help stu-
dents deal with the fundamental questions of
human existence, regardless of their career goals.
Thus, in the common course of studies required
of all students, the emphasis is on the careful read-
ing and discussion of many of the most important
books in literature, history, philosophy, theology,
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 133
mathematics, and sciences. Classes are small.
Students learn to read critically, to speak precisely,
to write effectively, and to listen attentively by being
required to use some or all of these skills daily. The
curriculum is designed not only to help students
know, but to help them develop the skills they will
need as they take their places in the adult world and
in the worlds of the various professions.
While the Whitney M. Young, Jr., College of
Leadership Studies is related to other “great books”
programs throughout the country in its basic orien-
tation, the curriculum at Kentucky State University
is not a pale copy of ideas developed at private uni-
versities. The courses and curriculum in the College
have been developed and adapted to take advan-
tage of the particular conditions at Kentucky State
University, and this development is an ongoing
process. Class size ranges from 10 to 15 in tutorials
(language and mathematics/science courses), and
up to 20 in seminars.
The course of studies in the first two years of the
College, taken in its entirety (48 semester credit
hours), provides an alternate and briefer way of ful-
filling all of the University’s Liberal Studies
Requirements. However, the student must meet the
minimum required hours for graduation in the cho-
sen degree. Math and Science majors, with the
exception of Biology or Biology Education majors,
complete only the seminars and language tutorials;
the Math/Science component of the core is fulfilled
by courses from the College of Arts and Sciences.
Biology and Biology Education majors also fulfill
their math and science core requirements through
the College of Arts and Sciences and must suc-
cessfully complete WYC 222 (Evolutionary Biology
and Genetics). Curriculum ladders for students
completing the honors core are not listed in this
Catalogue, but are available from advisors in the
Whitney M. Young, Jr., College.
Students who major in Liberal Studies, who earn
at least 128 semester credit hours, who successful-
ly complete 39 semester credit hours in required
WYC courses or approved liberal studies electives
(with a grade of “C" or better) in their junior and
senior years, who pass the Senior Comprehensive
Examination, and who meet all other University
requirements will receive a Bachelor of Arts degree
in Liberal Studies. Whitney Young College stu-
dents take part in all activities of the University,
such as social and academic clubs, student govern-
ment, choir, band, and intramural/intercollegiate
athletics. Students have an opportunity to put the
leadership skills that they learn in classes to practi-
cal use by serving on the Whitney Young College
Student Council. The Council was originally creat-
ed by student initiative and organizes service and
134 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
social events and acts as a forum for student sug-
gestions and concerns.
NOTE: Whitney Young College students should not
follow the “Suggested Curriculum” ladders for the
various majors listed in this Catalogue. Appropriate
ladders are available from the student’s advisor.
TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM
Students seeking teacher certification who suc-
cessfully complete the 48 semester credit hour hon-
ors core through the Whitney M. Young, Jr. College
of Leadership Studies also fulfill the University’s
Liberal Studies Requirement for all Teacher
Education Certification programs. It should be
noted that in addition to the 48 semester credit hour
honors core, students seeking teacher certification
must also enroll in HED 221 (Personal Health and
Lifetime Fitness) to complete all requirements as
outlined and approved by the Kentucky Department
of Education. All other courses for certification will
be taken through the Division of Education and
Human Services of the College of Professional
Studies, as outlined in the major program. The 48
semester credit hour honors core fulfills the
University’s Liberal Studies Requirements for all the
Teacher Education Certification programs. Whitney
Young College students participating in the Teacher
Education Program have advisors in both the
College and the Division of Education and Human
Services to ensure that they take appropriate elec-
tives and develop an integrated and cohesive pro-
gram of study.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS
KSU graduates applying to professional schools
have the advantage of coming from an institution
that emphasizes the liberal studies foundation in
addition to specialized training. Itis very important
for students contemplating graduate school to con-
tinue their pursuit of liberal studies into the junior
and senior years with the goal of achieving a liber-
al studies major or minor, even in conjunction with
a specialized major. Among the selection criteria
mentioned by the UK medical school is the follow-
ing (1997-1998 University of Kentucky Bulletin):
“Often the physician's ability to communicate effec-
tively will determine the degree of success in the
diagnosis and management of a patient's health....
Thus, consideration is given to the communication
skills demonstrated by each applicant.
Communication is a two-way process and involves
the ability to listen perceptively, as well as to speak
and write clearly.” Regarding “Prelegal Study,” the
UK Law School has written that legal education “is
not a technical or scientific training that builds upon
Semester WYC Honors Courses
NOTE:
TE: All students completing the WYC core are exem
a specific preparation in basic techniques and
knowledge acquired in undergraduate school,”
Rather, legal education requires that students oe
having developed three fundamental remain cs
thorough preparation in the use of language”; “a
comprehensive, exploratory undergraduate ex sA
ence”; and the completion of a degree mi Ne
which the student will learn “to think clearly, ea
sound study habits, and have the opportunit de
master the methodology and knowledge of a des
ticular field under the guidance of reg
instructors.” These are precisely the skills devel
oped by a liberal studies major or minor. ja
Many Whitney Young College students plan
careers in a pre-professional program. Each of
a students benefits from an advisor in the
ollege and in the pre-professional program. Many
eset students remain in the college to com
major in liberal studies. Stud hanai

BACHELOR OF ARTS IN LIBERAL STUDIES
(Whitney Young Honors Program)
THE FRESHMAN YEAR
Liberal Studies Seminar | and Il, WYC 101 and
102, 4 semester credit hours each semester, is the
central course in the first year of studies. During a
portion of the fall semester, students focus on the
history of the ancient world from the dawn of civi-
lization in Egypt and Mesopotamia to the classical
periods of Greece and China. During a portion of
the spring semester, students focus on the history
of ancient Rome, India, and the medieval period of
the Christian and Islamic worlds. The remainder of
each semester is devoted to classroom discussion
of representative books from each period, as well
as of European and African art. The instructor keeps
the discussion focused, but the emphasis is always
The Freshman Language Tutorial, WYC 111 and
412 or WYC 115 and 116, 4 semester credit hours
1) instruction in the elements of the grammar of
Greek or Latin with particular application to
translation; and
2) an English writing component, emphasizing
composition and rhetoric.
The Mathematics-Science Tutorial, WYC 121
and 122, 4 semester credit hours each semester,
begins with the first great work in mathematics,
Euclid’s Elements, and continues with the study of
other major works in the history of mathematics,
astronomy, physics, and the philosophy of science.
Electives, 3/6 semester credit hours each semes-
ter, can be used for courses in such fields as busi-
ness, computer science, or English, or to begin a
professional sequence of courses for areas such as
engineering, medicine, dentistry, Or law.
THE SOPHOMORE YEAR
Liberal Studies Seminar III and IV, WYC 201 and
202, 4 semester credit hours each semester, is a
continuation of the freshman seminars. A portion
of the fall semester is devoted to the study of histo-
ry from the Renaissance to the American
Revolution. A portion of the spring semester is
devoted to the study of modern history beginning
with the French Revolution. The remainder of each
semester is devoted to classroom discussion of
representative books from each period. Again, the
emphasis is always On student participation.
The Sophomore Language Tutorial, WYC 211
and 212, 4 semester credit hours each semester,
deals with the history of English literature and the
English language. The work of the first semester
focuses on narrative literature from medieval
pie veii CATALOGUE 2000-2002
English epics to modern African American novels.
The second semester focuses on lyric poetry from
England, America, and other parts of the English-
speaking world. The course content is some of the
finest literature in the English language. Attention
is also paid to the quality of student writing as
revealed in student essays which are frequently
assigned.
The Mathematics/Science Tutorial, WYC 221
and 222, 4 semester credit hours each semester is
the central course in the second year of studies.
The fall semester focuses on readings and labora-
tory exercises related to perhaps the greatest sci-
entific treatise of all time, Newton's Principia. The
spring semester focuses on readings and laborato-
ry exercises pertaining to the Biological Revolution.
Special attention is given to the writings of Darwin
and to the discoveries of the genetic code in DNA.
Electives, 3/6 semester credit hours each semes-
ter, may be used for elective courses in a variety of
fields. WYC courses offered as electives are: wWYC
241 and 242, 3 semester credit hours each; WYC
251 and 252, 3 semester credit hours each; WYC
351, 3 semester credit hours; WYC 352, 3 semester
credit hours; or any WYC preceptorial (WYC 331,
332, 431, or 432), 3 semester credit hours each.
THE JUNIOR AND SENIOR YEARS
After the first two years in the Whitney Young
College, many students continue in the College to
earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies,
often using it as preparation for study in law or
graduate school or for entering a business training
program. Some students choose other majors,
such as psychology Or computer science, while
continuing to take WYC courses to earn a liberal
studies minor. Other students take a major and a
minor outside of the College (i.e., Mathematics and
English).
To satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor of
Arts degree in Liberal Studies, a student must com-
plete a minimum of 128 semester credit hours,
including a mandatory minor. The required cours-
es are WYC 301, 302, 311, 321, 401, and 421. In
addition, the student must complete the Senior
Essay (WYC 441), which may represent any acade-
mic discipline and is the basis for the Senior
Comprehensive Examination. The remaining 12
semester credit hours may be selected from wYC
241, 242, 251, 252, 331, 332, 351, 352, 431, 432,
491, or from the acceptable liberal studies electives
listed below; but six of these credit hours must be

LIBERAL STUDIES PRE-LAW CURRICULUM
The Association of American Law Schools
defines Pre-legal Education as follows: “Shortly
stated, what the law schools seek in their entering
students is not accomplishment in mere memoriza-
tion but accomplishment in understanding, the
capacity to think for themselves, and the ability to
II
express their thoughts with clarity and force.”
Although pre-law students can gain adequate
preparation for law school with any strong major,
they have found the liberal studies major especially
valuable. A major in Liberal Studies provides an
excellent preparation for law school.

GENERAL LIBERAL STUDIES CORE
The general liberal studies core option affords
the student an opportunity to focus on a program
which is broad based and is designed as a transfer
program to complete a baccalaureate degree. By

THE DIVISION OF EDUCATION
AND HUMAN SERVICES
The Division of Education and Human Services is
dedicated to the fulfillment of the University’s mis-
sion statement which specifically addresses the
need for preparing minority students for careers in
education and human services.
Baccalaureate programs leading to teacher certi-
fication in the fields of Art, Biology, Birth to Primary,
Elementary Education, English, History,
Mathematics, Music, Physical Education, and Social

TEACHER EDUCATION
The primary purpose of the Department of
Teacher Education is to coordinate and administer
all programs leading to teacher certification at the
University. Educating teachers for a diverse society
is of special significance to the Teacher Education
faculty. Further, the program is driven by the phi-
losophy that teachers have the power to free learn-
ers from conditions associated with being unedu-
cated, undereducated, or miseducated. Thus, the
Teacher Education Program works to ensure that
teacher education graduates obtain the skills,
knowledge, and dispositions needed to function as
“Liberators through Education” in elementary and
high school classrooms of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky, the region, and the nation.
The Department of Teacher Education offers bac-
calaureate degree programs leading to teacher cer-
tification in Art Education, Biology Education, Birth
to Primary Education, Elementary Education,
English Education, Mathematics Education, Music
Education, Physical Education, and Social Studies
Education. Teaching minors are available in
English, History, Mathematics, and Sociology.
Endorsement for teaching Computer Science is
available. Teacher preparation programs are
accredited by the Kentucky Department of
Education (KED) and the National Council for
Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). All
programs lead to certification by the Kentucky
Department of Education.

Teacher Education Committee
The responsibility for teacher education pro-
grams at Kentucky State University rests with the
Teacher Education Committee. The Committee is
composed of 1) the Dean of the College of
Professional Studies, 2) the Registrar, 3) the
Chairperson and all faculty in the Department of
Education and Human Services, 4) the Director of
Libraries, 5) the Coordinator of the Communication
Skills Center, 6) the Director of Testing, 7) the

Placement and Data Coordinator, 9) three public
school representatives, 10) faculty representatives
from each academic unit in which the University
offers teacher certification programs, and 11) two
student representatives (one of whom is the presi-
dent of the University’s Student National Education
Association, and the other representing the special-
ty areas).
Goals and Objectives
- The overall goal of the Teacher Education
Program is to produce the best possible teachers
for elementary and secondary schools. Program
objectives are to provide each student with the fol-
lowing:
— A strong liberal studies foundation which will
enable students to think critically, express them-
selves with clarity, make independent and rational
judgements, and become life-long learners;
- The pedagogical skills and competencies
needed to create an environment conducive to
learning for elementary and secondary school stu-
dents;
- A thorough understanding of the knowledge
of the content to be taught in grades P-12;
- An understanding of the function and role of
schools and teachers in a democratic, multicultur-
al/diverse society; and
- Clinical and practicum experiences which lead
to a commitment to become a teacher who is a lib-
erator through education.
Admission to Teacher Education
Students desiring teacher certification at any
level must apply formally to the Teacher Education
Program. Application forms are available in the

that may lead to teacher certification. A student
may elect either option. Details of the teacher cer-
tification program may be found under the Area of
Teacher Education sub-section of the Division of
Education and Human Services.
Employment opportunities for Physical
Education majors extend beyond teaching and
coaching. Physical Education majors today have
begun to consider alternative ways of using their
education. As a result of the tremendous surge of
public interest in sports and physical activity, alter-
native career opportunities for Physical Education

INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY
Industrial Technology offers occupational and
technical programs that lead to Associate Applied
Science degrees in Drafting and Design Technology
or Electronics Technology. These programs are
designed to address 1) the technical needs of stu-
dents who seek employment for or a change in
industrial employment, 2) the in-service needs of
technicians who seek to improve their technical
knowledge and skills to keep pace with changing
technology in industry, and 3) the needs of those
who desire personal enrichment or orientation by
taking courses in these areas.
The Industrial Technology programs actively
support the following goals of Kentucky Tech Prep:
- To reinforce student interest and enhance
achievement in academic and technical skills;
- To integrate curriculum at both the secondary
and post-secondary levels in a sequence of
courses leading to an associate degree in a
technical field;
- To establish articulation among secondary/
post-secondary institutions, colleges, and uni-
versities;
- To prepare and assist students for entry into
the workforce; and
- To upgrade vocational/technical courses to
meet current and future needs.
The Industrial Technology programs are current-
ly associated with three Tech Prep consortia based
in Shelbyville, Harrodsburg, and Franklin counties.
Rapid advances in technology in the workplace
have brought about significant changes in compe-
tencies required of the labor force. Employers are
in need of workers who can apply higher math and
science competencies, communicate effectively
(both in writing and orally), and demonstrate prob-
lem-solving skills.
In order to meet the challenges of today and to
plan for the technological future, the programs
offered through Industrial Technology have been
designed to assist students in the enhancement of
their education to better prepare them for the
demands of the workplace.
Students from select area secondary and post-
secondary schools may qualify for transfer of tech-
nical course work under existing Articulation
Agreements with Kentucky State University. In the
Industrial Technology area, students enrolled in one
of its Associate degree programs may get credit for
previous work in either Drafting and Design
Technology or Electronics Technology programs.
These credit transfer agreements enable students
to pursue a University degree without transitional
delay or duplication of previous course work.
Credit may be awarded after a thorough review of a
student’s transcript and consultation with a
University faculty advisor. A competency-based
examination may also be given by the advisor to
assist in the transfer evaluation process. More
information may be obtained through the Division
of Computer and Technical Sciences Office.

DRAFTING AND DESIGN TECHOLOGY
An Associate degree in Drafting and Design
Technology prepares students to pursue careers as
designers, drafters, technical illustrators, and CAD
technicians. Our graduates are working in the fields
of commercial art, forensic graphics, industrial
design, motion picture and broadcast TV, photogra-
phy, scientific illustration, and theatrical production.
Students are trained to understand current proto-
cols in industry and to develop advanced techno-
logical skills. They learn how to apply their knowl-
edge through selected course activities and pro-
jects. Advanced levels of computer-aided drafting,
modeling, and animation provide state-of-the-art
advantages. All classes are taught by nationally
recognized and professionally successful faculty.
Job placement rates for graduates are excellent.
The courses required for earning an Associate
degree in Drafting and Design Technology are in
three basic categories: liberal studies for the devel-
opment of critical skills in English composition,
technical writing, mathematics, and the natural,
behavioral, or social sciences; Drafting and Design
Technology core courses for developing skills use-
ful in today’s highly technical occupations such as
computer-aided drafting, manufacturing, and man-
ufacturing processes; and Computer Science to
ensure that graduates are computer literate.
To satisfy the requirements for the Associate in
Applied Science degree in Drafting and Design
Technology, students must complete a minimum of
64 semester credit hours. The required courses are

ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY
An Associate degree in Electronics Technology is
designed for students who desire a new career in
the electronics industries or who seek career
advancement by upgrading their current technolo-
gy expertise. The rapid growth of computer-based
business and industry has led to a similar demand
for’ expertise in the design and repair of digital-
based computer hardware. This program focuses
on the theoretical and hands-on understanding of
solid-state devices and the digital control of com-
puter-based industrial electronic equipment.
Recent graduates are working in the field as elec-
tronics designers, electrical equipment installers,
component testers, and consumer electronics and
computer technicians. Students develop other
skills associated with electronics through laborato-
ry experience and course lectures in compter-aided
drafting and robotics. All classes are taught by
nationally recognized experts and award-winning
faculty.
The courses required for earning an Associate
Degree in Electronics Technology are in three basic
categories: liberal studies for the development of
critical skills in English composition, technical writ-
ing, mathematics, and the natural, behavioral, or
social sciences; Electronics Technology core cours-
es for developing a fundamental understanding of
electrical circuitry, solid state devices, digital cir-
Cuitry, micro-processor architecture and control,
servo and non-servo robotic control; and Computer
Science.
To satisfy the requirements for the Associate in
Applied Science degree in Electronics Technology,
students must complete a minimum of 67 semester
credit hours. The required courses are INT 124,
128, 129, 130, 226, 230, 231, 240 and 290. In addi-
tion to the required courses students must also
complete the support courses: COS 101; INT 127,
208, and 250 as well as MAT 115 and 120. The lib-
eral studies courses ENG 101, 102, and 216; and
SPE 103 must also be completed. Students must
choose one social and behavioral sciences elective
and any other free elective to fulfill their curriculum
requirements. The University oral requirement will
be satisfied with the completion of INT 290.

THE DEPARTMENT OF NURSING
The Associate in Applied Science degree in
Nursing at Kentucky State University is accredited
by the National League for Nursing Accreditation
Commission (61 Broadway, 33rd Floor, New York,
New York 10006; 800/669-1656, ext. 153) and
approved by the Kentucky Board of Nursing. Upon
successful completion of the associate degree pro-
gram and successful completion of the National
Council Licensure Examination-R.N., students qual-
ify to practice as licensed registered nurses in
Kentucky.
The curriculum is divided into liberal studies,
support, and Nursing components. The liberal
studies and support course components comprise
approximately one-half of the total semester credit
hours and focus on the development of critical skills
in English composition and mathematics and on the
acquisition of basic knowledge in the biological,
behavioral, and social sciences. The Nursing com-
ponent concentrates on nursing concepts and clin-
ical practice.
To satisfy the requirements for the Associate in
Applied Science degree in Nursing, a student must
complete a minimum of 73 semester credit hours
with a grade-point average of 2.0 or better, com-
plete a Comprehensive Nursing Review, and obtain
a satisfactory score on a comprehensive exit exam-
ination. The required courses are NUR 101, 102,
201, 202, and 203. The remaining required courses
in the nursing curriculum are BIO 107, 108, and 204;
EDU 221; ENG 101 and 102; FNU 104; MAT 110;
PSY 200; SOC 203; and 3 semester credit hours of
free electives. Students must receive a grade of “C”
or better in all required courses in the nursing cur-
riculum. Oral communication competency is ful-
filled through the completion of Nursing classroom
activities, on-campus Nursing laboratory experi-
ences, and clinical assignments. Each emphasizes
the use of verbal and nonverbal communication
skills.
The Department of Nursing is responsible for all
components of the program, including the selec-
tion, supervision and evaluation of Nursing stu-
dents, and the curriculum both instructional and
clinical. The Nursing curriculum ladder is the rec-
ommended sequence of liberal studies, support,
and Nursing courses. This ladder applies only to
students who are directly admitted into the day pro-
gram (full-time) for two years and who successfully
complete all required courses in the curriculum.
The Department of Nursing has developed flexi-
ble course schedules for students who must work
while pursuing a Nursing degree. Students may
174 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
obtain a degree in Nursing by enrolling on a full-
time or part-time basis and by attending classes in
the daytime or the evening, whichever meets their
individual needs. Students attending evening
classes can expect to be enrolled for a minimum of
three academic years and must complete all other
required courses in the curriculum (BIO 107, 108,
and 204; EDU 221; ENG 101 and 102; FNU 104;

THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
The Kentucky State University School of
Business prepares men and women for business
careers that require decision-making in a complex
economic setting, one inextricably interwoven into
a dynamic and diverse social, political, and cultural
environment. Seeing the business firm from this
perspective, the School of Business has four
overriding goals: 1) to provide for all students,
through the University’s Liberal Studies
Requirements, a firm base of liberal education that
will develop within the student a global view of
human understanding; 2) to present business
instruction so that students may understand the
functions of the business firm as a whole and the
purposes of specific areas of business; 3) to
develop within the student an appreciation of the
importance of logical and analytical reasoning, a
systematic approach to problem solving, and
effective communications as these concepts apply
to decision-making in the business firm; and 4) to
develop a view among students that the
baccalaureate degree in business administration is
the initial step toward a life-long commitment to
personal growth and intellectual maturity.
The School of Business recognizes that the
growing, rapidly changing character of American
business demands that individuals involved in the
decision-making process of business firms and
projecting future trends and practices be creative
and innovative, while understanding the successes
and failures of the past. This concept permeates
the School’s programs. The curriculum’s strong
liberal arts component provides students with a
foundation from which to evaluate a business firm's
social and moral responsibilities and their own
individual responsibilities as they develop a
personal philosophy of business.
ACCREDITATION
Accreditation is a process established to ensure
public protection of, and instill public confidence in,
collegiate professional schools and programs.
“Specialized” accreditation involves the evaluation
of particular units, schools, or programs within an
institution with regard to effectiveness in preparing
individuals for their chosen profession. The School
of Business is fully accredited by the Association of
Collegiate Business Schools and Programs
(ACBSP). Founded in 1988, the ACBSP is one of the
two organizations in the United States which
accredit business schools and programs. The
ACBSP has as its primary emphasis the
encouragement of excellent teaching and the
continuous evaluation of teaching effectiveness.
DEGREE PROGRAM
The programs in the School of Business lead to a
Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration
and provide for a broad education as well as a
reasonable amount of specialization. In accordance
with the standards of the Association of Collegiate
Business Schools and Programs, the School
requires that a significant part of a student's
academic program be in general education
subjects. These courses are then complemented
by: 1) courses in basic areas of business
administration that collectively constitute a
common professional component of business and
2) a specialization of courses in a functional area of
business. The Bachelor of Arts degree in Business
Administration is offered with specializations in
Accounting, Business Administration,
Management, and Marketing.
In addition to this baccalaureate degree
program, the University offers real estate courses.
Each academic year, a selection of real estate
courses is offered, including such topics as
principles, law, marketing, valuation, and residential
construction. By carefully selecting courses, a
student may complete the necessary requirements
and become a candidate to sit for the real estate
licensure examination administered by the
Kentucky Real Estate Commission.
Prizes, Awards, and Scholarships: The following
awards are made to students in the School of
Business: Outstanding Accounting Student,
Outstanding Business Administration Student,
Outstanding Economics Student, Outstanding
Management Student, Outstanding Marketing
Student, the Wall Street Journal Award, Alma E.
Smith Scholarship, Christopher Chuku Memorial
Scholarship, and Outstanding Scholar-Athlete
Award.

THE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION
The School of Public Administration was estab-
lished in 1973. It offers an undergraduate and a
graduate program, one leading to the Bachelor of
Arts degree in Public Administration and the other
to the Master of Public Administration degree
respectively.
The study of Public Administration primarily pre-
pares students for career employment as supervi-
sors, managers, and decision-makers in the public
sector, including local, state, and federal govern-
ment agencies. In addition, the graduates of the
Public Administration program may be eligible for
employment in similar capacities in the non-profit
sector.
The University’s programs in Public
Administration are designed to endow students
with practical abilities in problem-solving, program
analysis, and implementation. The structure of the
academic programs is based on the premise that
the Public Administration student should possess
skills adaptable to various tasks and employment
settings. The program also emphasizes the sub-
fields of management information systems, human
resources/personnel, and development administra-
tion, and makes a special effort to meet the needs
of professionals from the Kentucky state govern-
ment.

lic services.
To satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor of

100 level. Career electives may be taken in the fol-
lowing fields: public administration, political sci-
ence, sociology, pyschology, social work, criminal
justice, business administration, accounting, com-
puter science, economics, management, office
administration, mathematics, and speech. Any for-
eign language course may be used as a career elec-
tive. Students wishing to take courses not on this
list as career electives must obtain prior written
approval from the dean. In such cases the student
must explain in writing how the course in question
would further his/her public service career plans.

THE MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
ACCREDITATION
The School of Public Administration has been a
member of the National Association of Schools of
Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) since
1973. NASPAA is an organization which sets nation-
al standards for the Master of Public Administration
(MPA) degree program and the other master's-level
degree programs in Public Administration. The fol-
lowing excerpt from the current NASPAA standards
clearly states the purpose of a Master of Public
Administration degree program;
The purpose of the professional master's degree
program in public affairs and administration is to
prepare individuals for positions of leadership in
public service. A career of leadership may
involve management and/or policy at several
levels of government, in non-profit agencies and
in private sector areas where knowledge of gov-
ernment is important.
(NASPAA Standards, 1992)
The Master of Public Administration degree pro-
gram at Kentucky State University was accredited
by NASPAA in June 1997. The program Is modeled
after NASPAA's standards for such programs and
shares its educational philosophy. The objectives
of the MPA program include providing knowledge,
skills, and experience that can be directly utilized by
public and private sector professionals in their
changing work environment. The program equips
students with the technical skills and liberal arts val-
ues necessary for responsible administrative roles
in state, local, federal, quasi-governmental, non-
profit, and private sector systems. The program
provides the interdisciplinary foundations of public
administration, quantitative skills, sensitivity toward
humanistic dimensions of public organizations, fis-
cal management, and computer utilization.
A majority of public administration courses are
offered in the evening to accommodate students
with full-time jobs. By taking two courses each
semester, such students can complete all degree
requirements in three years. Many of KSU's MPA
students work for government agencies and
receive employer tuition assistance, but some full-
time students receive graduate assistantships in
exchange for part-time work. Full-time students
typically earn the Master of Public Administration
degree in two years of study. Up to 12 semester
credit hours of appropriate graduate-level course-
work may be transferred into the Master of Public
Administration program from elsewhere.

of transcripts certified. Applicants with
undergraduate GPAs below 3.0 must also
provide evidence that the applicant meets
Admission Requirement B below. This
proof may be transcripts indicating comple-
tion of related undergraduate course work,
or employment verification, or GRE or
GMAT test scores. Applicants should read
section B below carefully. If applicants are
uncertain about whether or not their course
work or employment histories fulfill
Admissions Requirement B, they should
also submit a GRE or GMAT score.
C. Three (3) letters of recommendation.
2. Students who were previously enrolled in the
Master of Public Administration program at
Kentucky State University and who wish to
resume enrollment after not attending for two
or more years, and students returning from
suspension must provide the following:
A. An application for re-admission and
B. Official transcripts for all course work
attempted at other colleges or universities
during the period of absence from Kentucky
State University.
Special Application Procedures for International
Students
In addition to meeting all conditions required for
admission of other students, as set forth below
under either “Regular Admission Requirements” or
“Conditional Admission Requirements,” interna-
tional applicants must meet the following require-
ments:
A. Have official TOEFL score (KSU code number
1368) provided directly from the testing
agency. TOEFL scores must be 525 or above.
Students completing their undergraduate
studies in the United States or at universities
elsewhere where English is the principal lan-
guage of instruction are exempt from submit-
ting TOEFL scores.
B. Demonstrate, via Declaration of Certification
of Finance, that sufficient funds are available
to finance the planned course of study without
causing undue hardship on the student.
A successful international applicant will be sent
an official Letter of Acceptance and information
pertaining to registration and enrollment. Upon
receipt of the official Letter of Acceptance, a confir-
mation deposit of $3,500 U.S. dollars must be sent
before the University will forward an Immigration
Form (I-20) Certificate of Eligibility. This deposit will
remain on account until the student graduates or
withdraws from the University. However, a student
may apply a maximum of 65% of the $3,500.00
deposit toward tuition and fees during the first
semester of matriculation. International students
are required to make payment in U.S. dollars.
ADMISSION CLASSIFICATIONS
Regular Admission Requirements
The Master of Public Administration program
admits only students whose preparation indicates
potential for a high level of success. Applicants who
hold earned bachelor’s degrees from accredited
institutions and have overall GPAs of 3.0 or higher
(on a 4.0 scale) receive Regular Admission based
entirely on evidence of that undergraduate accom-
plishment. Applicants with GPAs of less than 3.0
may obtain Regular Admission by meeting BOTH
Requirements A and B below. Requirement A
ensures that all MPA students are likely to succeed
in professional graduate study; Requirement B
ensures that all students also have the potential for
Career success in the public service. Only appli-
cants meeting both requirements can be admitted.
Admission Requirement A: Applicants must pos-
sess earned bachelor’s degrees from accredited
colleges or universities with minimum grade-point
averages of 2.7. This information should be verifi-
able from applicants’ official transcripts.
Admission Requirement B: Applicants must meet
at least one of the following requirements:
1. Have completed at least 24 hours of under-
graduate work related to public administra-
tion. This information should be verifiable
from applicants’ official transcripts. For the
purposes of this requirement, the following
disciplines are considered related to public
administration: public administration, political
science, sociology, psychology, history, social
work, criminal justice/police administration,
computer science, international studies, eco-
nomics, and business (all sub-fields).
2. Have been employed full time in a profession-
al position by a governmental or non-profit
organization for a period of at least two (2)
years. This is normally verified using a letter
from a past or present supervisor or employ-
er, which may be one of the three letters of ref-
erence mentioned above. A “professional”
position is either one which requires incum-
bents to have completed at least two years of
college or a position which demonstrably
requires exercise of substantial judgement,
self-direction, analytical skills, or leadership.
Applicants may supplement employer letters
with additional documentation concerning the
nature of their duties.
3. Submit a combined score of at least 1,100
(Verbal, Mathematical, and Analytical) on the
Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or a score of at
least 480 on the Graduate Management Test
(GMAT).
Applicants who meet one of these three require-
ments are not required to submit documentation
concerning the other two. For example, if an appli-
cant's transcript indicates that he/she has complet-
ed 21 hours of course work related to public admin-
istration (requirement 1), then the applicant need
not necessarily submit a GRE score or an employer
letter.
Conditional Admission Requirements
Upon recommendation of the faculty, the dean may
grant Conditional Admission to applicants who
have undergraduate GPAs of at least 2.4 and who
meet all other requirements for Regular Admission.
Such applicants must posess baccalaureate
degrees and must meet Requirement B of the
“Regular Admission Requirements.” As described
above, Requirement B can be fulfilled using related
course work, professional experience, or a test
score. Conditionally admitted students are subject
to initial performance requirements more stringent
than those imposed upon others, as described
below under Probation and Dismissal.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 195
Non-Degree Admission
To obtain non-degree graduate admission, each
prospective student must submit a transcript indi-
cating that he/she possess an earned bachelor’s
degree from an accredited college or university.
Non-degree status is appropriate for students seek-
ing to take courses purely for their own enrichment.
If a non-degree student earns any graduate course
grade below a “B” at Kentucky State University,
his/her non-degree admission status will be termi-
nated. If a non-degree student completes six hours
of course work at the University, that student’s non-
degree admission status will be terminated. A non-
degree student wishing to pursue the MPA degree
may be admitted to the program at the discretion of
the dean and faculty. No more than six non-degree
hours may be transferred into the program.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MASTER OF PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION DEGREE
The Master of Public Administration program is
designed to serve both in-service students (those
with work experience) and pre-service students
(those without work experience), and focuses on
problem-solving methods. The academic compo-
nent is supported by a variety of applied research
activities. Each of the research activities is designed
to provide the student with research skills, as well
as a body of knowledge and information needed by
practicing public administrators. Master of Public
Administration degree requirements may be com-
pleted with 42 semester credit hours of graduate-
level course work. A 3 credit hour internship is a
requirement for all pre-service Master of Public
Administration students.
A professional core of knowledge is expected of
each Master of Public Administration candidate. It
includes perspectives on public administration,
quantitative methods, research methods and policy
analysis, public sector economics, organization the-
ory, computer applications, public personnel man-
agement, public sector economics, and budgeting
in government agencies. Upon completion of these
core courses, the student must choose a specialty
area for advanced course work. Students newly
admitted to the Master of Public Administration
program must take PUA 500 (Perspectives on Public
Administration) during their first semester of enroll-
ment.
The Master of Public Administration program
offers three specialty areas in response to the vari-
ous needs for public sector expertise. These spe-
cialty areas include: Management Information
Systems, Human Resource Management, and
International Administration and Development.
Students may select their final 9 semester credit
196 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
hours from two different graduation options. This
selection is completed with approval of the stu-
dent's advisor. The options are either a thesis (6
semester credit hours) or additional advanced
course work (6 semester credit hours). All students
must take a comprehensive examination over the
core and specialty areas. An oral defense of the
thesis is required of those students who elect to
undertake this option.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS AND POLICIES FOR
THE MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
Comprehensive Examinations
All Master of Public Administration degree candi-
dates, are required to pass a written comprehensive
examination in their final semester at Kentucky
State University. The comprehensive examination
is normally offered during the fall and spring
semesters. Limited availability of faculty resources
makes it difficult to schedule a comprehensive
examination in the summer session. It is the indi-
vidual student's responsibility to complete an appli-
cation for a comprehensive examination. The
application must be approved by the student's
advisor and submitted to the dean of the School of
Public Administration for placement on the com-
prehensive examination list. The student's request
to participate in the fall semester examination must
be made no later than September 15. Requests to
participate in the spring semester examination
must be made no later than February 15.
Grades
Grades below “C” may not be presented for
Master of Public Administration graduation credit,
nor shall graduation be approved for students with
grade-point averages below 3.0. Students may not
graduate with more than 6 semester credit hours of
courses with a grade of “C” or below. This regula-
tion does not apply when a grade of “C” has been
superseded by successful completion (grade of “B”
or better) of a particular course at a later date.
Probation and Dismissal
A. Initial Procedures for Conditionally Admitted
Students
Any conditionally admitted student who fails
to perform satisfactorily while initially enrolled
will be dismissed from the program. To
remain in the program all conditionally admit-
ted students must do the following:
1. Attempt at least nine (9) hours of MPA
course work within one year of admission.
2. Earn a GPA of at least 3.0 on the first nine or
more hours attempted, with no grades of
“D” or “F”
Conditionally admitted students who fail to
meet either of these initial performance
requirements (1 or 2) will be permanently dis-
missed from the program. Conditionally
admitted students who meet these initial per-
formance requirements will be automatically
converted to regular status in the program.
They will then be subject to the same proba-
tion and dismissal procedures imposed on
other students.
B. Procedures for Other Students
A student is placed-on probation when his/her
grade-point average falls below 3.0. A student
placed on probation may subsequently enroll
in up to 9 semester credit hours of graduate-
level course work. In taking the subsequent 9
semester credit hours of courses, the student
must bring his/her overall grade-point average
up to at least 3.0 to continue in the program
and to remain in good academic standing.
A dismissed student may, after one year,
appeal in writing to the dean of the School of
Public Administration for re-admission. If re-
admission is granted, the student will be
placed on probation for up to 9 semester cred-
it hours of courses. A student who does not
bring his/her overall grade-point average up to
at least 3.0 in taking the subsequent 9 semes-
ter credit hours of courses will be permanent-
ly dismissed from the University without
appeal.
Time Limit for Completion of Degree
All program requirements must be completed
within six years of initial admission, unless other-
wise approved by the Dean of the School of Public
Administration. Students should consult the
revised Master of Public Administration Student
Handbook, available from the dean of the School of
Public Administration, for further information about
graduate study.
Program Course Load
Full-time students carry a normal load of 9
semester credit hours of graduate-level course
work per semester. (Part-time students who are
employed full-time are advised to carry no more
than 6 semester credit hours of graduate-level
course work in any semester.)
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 199
GRADUATE STUDENT ASSISTANTSHIPS
A limited number of graduate assistantships are
available for full-time students pursuing the Master
of Public Administration degree. Students holding
these positions work 20 hours per week and receive
stipends and waivers of out-of-state tuition.
Graduate assistants assist the dean and faculty
members in their instructional and research activi-
ties. Students interested in such positions may
make application to the dean of the School of Public
Administration. Assistantships are awarded on the
basis of need and high academic achievement.
ACTIVITIES
As public service professionals, Master of Public
Administration students are encouraged to join the
American Society of Public Administration (ASPA)
and other relevant professional organizations such
as the Kentucky Political Science Association, the
United Nations Association (Frankfort chapter), and
the International Personnel Management
200 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
Association. The national/regional/state confer-
ences of ASPA and other organizations provide
opportunities for students and faculty to present
research papers. Membership in professional orga-
nizations provides forums for students to engage in
and present their research, associate with col-
leagues, and grow and develop professionally.
CENTER FOR PUBLIC POLICY RESEARCH
In Fall 1987, a Research Center for Public and
International Policy was established within the
School of Public Administration to emphasize
applied social science research. The dean of the
School of Public Administration concurrently
serves as the Director of the Research Center for
Public and International Policy, which seeks both
external and internal funds to carry out applied
social science research. Faculty and graduate
assistants in the School of Public Administration
gain hands-on experience in these research pro-
grams.
THE MASTER OF SCIENCE IN
AQUACULTURE/AQUATIC SCIENCES
The Aquaculture Research and Extension
Programs and the Division of Mathematics and
Sciences at Kentucky State University offer a
Master of Science degree in Aquaculture/Aquatic
Sciences. Aquaculture is the rearing of aquatic
organisms under controlled or semi-controlled con-
ditions. Interest in Aquaculture has increased
world wide as fish consumption has increased con-
currently with decreasing catches of wild fish. In
Kentucky and the southern United States,
Aquaculture production focuses on raising fresh-
water species commercially.
The curriculum meets criteria established by the
University Programs Standards Committee of the
American Fisheries Society for Fish Culture
Specializations. This program is designed to pro-
vide students with the training and experience
required for immediate employment. However, the
program is also designed to provide the academic
foundation for further graduate studies. As a the-
sis-based degree program, it provides each student
a graduate committee. This committee will be
responsible for evaluating the student's competen-
cies based on comprehensive evaluation, and the-
sis presentation and defense. Upon completion of
the program, students should have knowledge of
production and reproduction of primary
Aquaculture species, basic physiology and nutrition
of aquatic vertebrate and invertebrate culture
species, mechanics and operation of primary pro-
duction methods, causes and controls of pathogen-
ic organisms, the function and manipulation of bio-
logical and chemical cycles in ponds, and the
design and analysis of experiments.
ADMISSION TO THE MASTER OF SCIENCE IN
AQUACULTURE/AQUATIC SCIENCES PROGRAM
Application
Admission to the Graduate Program in
Aquaculture/Aquatic Science is based upon evi-
dence that the applicant has already attained a cer-
tain minimal level of academic proficiency.
Applicants must assume responsibility for filing
complete admission data, as listed below.
Application Form: Each student must submit a
completed, signed application form, providing all
requested information. An application form can be
obtained from the Aquaculture Research Center or
the Division of Mathematics and Sciences. A letter
describing the applicant's goals and career objec-
tives is also required.
Transcripts; Each applicant must provide two offi-
cial copies of transcripts of all previous college/uni-
versity credits showing all grades received and any
degrees or certificates that have been awarded.
The student who has not completed his/her under-
graduate degree at the time of application for
admission to the Aquaculture Program must submit
an official transcript at the time of application, as
well as an official transcript with the posted degree
once the degree requirements have been complet-
ed. An official transcript must bear the raised seal
and the signature of the registrar from the sending
institution. Graduates from all schools other than
Kentucky State University should contact their reg-
istrars and request that official copies of their tran-
scripts be forwarded directly to the Aquaculture
Graduate Coordinator, Kentucky State University,
Frankfort, Kentucky 40601. Students seeking
admission must be graduates of a fully accredited
four year institution of higher learning authorized to
grant the baccalaureate degree.
Graduate Record Examination: All applicants for
admission to the program must submit satisfactory
official score reports from the general section of the
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) at the time of
application. The GRE must have been taken within
the past five years. Certain domestic students who
have not had a prior opportunity to take the GRE
may be admitted provisionally for one semester
provided they take the test during their initial
semester in graduate school. Applications to take
the GRE can be obtained from, and must be sent to,
the Educational Testing Service, P O. Box 6000,
Princeton, New Jersey 08541-6000 U.S.A.
(Telephone: 609-771-7670 or 510-654-1200). It is
the responsibility of the applicant to apply for and
take the examination and to have the official scores
sent to the Aquaculture Graduate Coordinator.
Letters of Recommendation: Applicants should
solicit three letters of recommendation from
instructors at previous institutions, and request that
they be mailed to the Aquaculture Graduate
Coordinator.
Application Deadlines: Applications must be
received by July 15 for fall semester and by
December 15 for spring semester admission.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 201
Types of Graduate Admission: After evaluation of
an applicant's credentials, the applicant will be noti-
fied by letter that (1) admission has been granted
under one of the categories listed below, (2) admis-
sion has been denied, or (3) a decision has been
deferred for reasons listed in the notice. An admis-
sion letter will be issued by the Aquaculture
Graduate Coordinator and the Division of
Mathematics and Sciences stating the conditions of
admission and the period of validity of the admis-
sion. An applicant who has not received an admis-
sion, denial, or deferment notice 48 hours prior to
the beginning of the final regular registration period
should contact, in person, the Aquaculture
Graduate Coordinator or the Division of
Mathematics and Sciences for clarification.
Attendance in the Master of Science in
Aquaculture/Aquatic Science Program at Kentucky
State University is not a right; it is a privilege which
the University can withdraw as deemed necessary
in order to safeguard the University’s standards.
1. Unconditional Admission: Applicants who
meet the requirements for admission to the
graduate program are eligible for uncondition-
al admission. General requirements for
unconditional admission are
A. A baccalaureate degree from an accredited
institution;
B. An overall undergraduate grade-point-
average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale); and
C. A GRE minimum combined score of 1,000
(Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytic).
2. Provisional Admission: An applicant unable
to supply all of the required application mate-
rials prior to admission consideration, but who
otherwise meets the admission requirements
may be granted provisional admission.
Complete and satisfactory credentials must be
received by the Aquaculture Graduate
Coordinator before the end of the semester in
which the student has registered in a provi-
sional status. A student normally will not be
permitted to enroll with a provisional status
for more than one semester. Provisional
admission does not guarantee, in any way,
subsequent unconditional admission.
3. Probationary Admission: An applicant who
does not meet conditions B and/or C of the
admission requirements for unconditional
admission, but does show promise for suc-
cessful graduate studies may be granted pro-
bationary admission. Students must be
removed from probationary admission prior
to registering in any graduate course work
beyond an initial 12 semester credit hours.
The minimum condition for transfer from pro-
202 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
bationary admission status to unconditional
admission status is the successful completion
of at least nine semester credit hours of grad-
uate course work at Kentucky State University
while maintaining a graduate grade-point-
average of at least 3.0 and with no more than
one grade (regardless of the number of course
credit hours) of “C” or lower. The student will
be informed of all conditions for consideration
for unconditional admission at the time the
student is granted probationary admission
status. A student admitted under the proba-
tionary admission status should not attempt
any graduate course work graded pass/fail. A
student in probationary status may not hold
an assistantship or be admitted to candidacy
without first achieving unconditional admis-
sion status. International students will not be
admitted on a probationary admission basis.
4. Non-Degree Admission: An individual wish-
ing to take graduate Aquaculture courses for
personal or professional development, but
who does not plan to pursue a graduate
degree, may be admitted as a non-degree stu-
dent. A non-degree student must hold a bac-
calaureate degree from an accredited institu-
tion and must have a minimum overall under-
graduate grade-point-average of 2.0 (4.0 = A).
5. Visiting Student Admission: Because of the
uniqueness of the Aquaculture Program,
Kentucky State University is attractive to many
students who have been previously admitted
to other accredited graduate programs. In
order for a visiting student to be officially
enrolled for graduate credit at Kentucky State
University, the student must file an application
form and submit an official Visiting Student
Form. The Visiting Student Form must bear
the seal of the Graduate School and the signa-
ture of the Graduate Dean where the student
has been admitted.
Advisement: Upon admission to the Program, each
student shall be assigned an advisor. The student
shall take the initiative to become familiar with the
objectives of the program and pertinent regula-
tions, as they are described in the Catalogue, prior
to scheduling a conference with the assigned advi-
sor.
Special Application Procedures for International
Students: In addition to the general guidelines for
admission, international students must
+ Have a minimum grade-point average of 3.0
or its equivalent in undergraduate course
work as evidenced by official transcripts. All
transcripts must be submitted in English, and
any translation certified.
e Have official Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) scores provided directly
from the testing agency or provide other evi-
„dence of proficiency in the English language.
TOEFL scores must be a minimum of 550
(written) or 230 (computer). However, stu-
dents completing their undergraduate studies
in the United States are exempt from submit-
ting TOEFL scores, and may be admitted to
the Program with a cumulative grade-point
average of 3.0. Students exempted from sub-
mitting TOEFL scores will be required to com-
plete the GRE and are subject to meeting the
requirements for unconditional admission.
Course Load
The normal load of a graduate student during
any semester is nine semester credit hours or its
equivalent. Under no circumstances may it exceed
12 credit hours or its equivalent. Part-time students
who are employed full-time are advised to carry no
more than six semester credit hours of graduate-
level course work in any semester.
Transfer of Credit
Candidates for the master's degree are restricted
to a maximum of nine semester credit hours of
credit by transfer of work completed at another
accredited graduate institution. Official copies of
transcripts must be submitted and evaluated before
any transfer credit can be accepted. Certain. cours-
es submitted for transfer may not be considered
equivalent to specified program requirements even
if course titles are the same.
Repeat Option
A student may repeat a graduate course. The
lower grade is removed and does not count toward
total hours or toward the student's grade-point
average. This action will be initiated by petition of
the student to the Aquaculture Graduate
Coordinator and the Division of Mathematics and
Sciences, and may be done only once.
Grading System
The University awards letter grades which are
translated into quality points to determine the
grade-point average, or point standing. The system
is based neither on an absolute numerical system
nor on a distribution curve. Some instructors add a
“+” or a “-" to the letter grade to help students
understand more accurately their performance;
however, such designations are not recorded on
student records and do not affect the point stand-
ing. The following system of symbols will be used
in grading students:
A: Excellent. It represents exceptionally high
achievement as a result of aptitude, effort, and
intellectual initiative; it is worth four quality
points per semester credit hour.
B: Good. It represents a high achievement as
a result of ability and effort; it is worth three
quality points per semester credit hour.
C: Average. It represents average achieve-
ment, and is worth two quality points per
semester credit hour.
D: Poor. It represents the minimum passing
grade (not for courses in which the students

to students who wish to take graduate cours-
es for their own professional growth or per-
sonal interest. Such courses may not be used
as part of the graduate degree requirements.
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 203
2. A grade of “P” will be given to indicate
satisfactory completion of the examinations
and/or experiences eligible for pass-fail credit.
When a “P” is assigned, it is equivalent to a
minimum numerical score of 70%.
3. A grade of “F” will be given to indicate
unsatisfactory completion of the examinations
and/or experiences eligible for pass-fail credit.
An “F” is assigned when the numerical grade
is below 70%.
The grading scale is as follows:
Grading Scale
A = 90-100
B= 80-89

F= 0-59
More detailed information about student evalua-
tion is available on specific course syllabi. A stu-
dent's academic grade record is expressed as a
grade-point average computed by multiplying the
semester hours of credit for each course by the
quality point value of the grade received in the
course. These products are added, and the sum is
divided by the total number of semester credit
hours attempted.

See Section XIII.F of the University Catalogue.
Academic Integrity
The University faculty have the right to expect
students to adhere to the principles of academic
integrity. These principles require students to pre-
sent as theirs only academic work for which they
are actually responsible. Academic dishonesty will
not be tolerated. Depending upon the seriousness
of the infraction, students found guilty of plagiariz-
ing or cheating will be sanctioned in any of several
ways. These range from assignment of a failing
grade on the assignment or dismissal from the
course in question, to dismissal from the Program.
For a full description of what is considered
“cheating” and “plagiarism,” refer to the section
entitled “Academic Offenses” in the Kentucky State
University Student Handbook.
Probation
When students have completed 12 or more
semester credit hours of graduate course work with
a grade-point average of less than 3.0, they will be
placed on academic probation. Students will have
one full-time semester or the equivalent (9 semes-
ter credit hours) to remove the scholastic probation
by attaining a 3.0 average.
204 KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002
Dismissal
If probation is not removed, students will be dis-
missed from the Program. Students who have
been dismissed from the Program for this reason
may apply for re-admission after one semester.
Readmitted students will have one full-time semes-
ter or the equivalent (9 semester credit hours) to
remove the scholastic probation by attaining a 3.0
average. Students placed on scholastic probation
are not eligible for assistantships. Enrollment may
be terminated for any of the following reasons:
e Scholastic probation for three semesters of
enrollment.
e Two unsuccessful attempts to pass the final
examination for the master’s degree or the
qualifying examination.
e In cases where the student's Advisory
Committee recommends termination after the
student has passed the qualifying examina-
tion, the Graduate Faculty will meet to vote on
the recommendation. When the Graduate
Faculty concurs and the student dissents, the
student will have an opportunity to meet with
the Graduate Faculty, after which a second
vote will be taken and a final recommendation
will be made to the Aquaculture Program and
the Division of Mathematics and Sciences.
DEGREE COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS
Admission to Candidacy
Admission to candidacy is a function of the
Program's consideration of the student's potential
for matriculation in the Program based on his/her
performance at the graduate level, and represents a
stage beyond admission to the
Aquaculture/Aquatic Sciences Graduate Program.
Students must be admitted to candidacy to be con-
sidered eligible for the master’s degree. A copy of
the student’s admission to candidacy application
shall be submitted by his/her advisor for approval
by the Aquaculture Graduate Coordinator and
Chairperson of the Division of Mathematics and
Sciences as soon as possible. Admission to can-
didacy must be approved no later than the third
week of the semester in which the student is
enrolled in any of the last 12 semester credit hours
of his/her degree program. To accomplish this, the
required papers for admission to candidacy must
be received by the Aquaculture Graduate
Coordinator prior to the student's registration in
any of the last 12 semester credit hours of the
degree program. A student will not be eligible to
graduate in the same semester he/she is admitted
to candidacy, unless that student is completing the
program within two consecutive semesters. A per-
manent committee will be assigned upon approval
of candidacy. The permanent committee will con-
sist of the Aquaculture Graduate Coordinator, the
research advisor, and one other faculty member
from the Aquaculture Program or the Division of
Mathematics and Sciences. Admission to candida-
cy must be completed prior to scheduling of the
comprehensive examination(s) or thesis defense.
All conditions for clear admission to the Program
and any prerequisites must have been satisfied
before the candidacy application is approved. No
student shall become an approved candidate with-
out a minimum overall and program graduate
grade-point average of 3.0; no graduate credit shall
be granted for a grade below “C”; and no student
may repeat a course to improve his/her standing
without the explicit permission of his/her advisor
and the Aquaculture Graduate Coordinator.
When a student's candidacy is approved, the stu-
dent is notified that he/she is a candidate for the
degree program. After becoming a candidate, a
student is eligible to file an application for gradua-
tion. An application for graduation must be
received in the Division of Mathematics and
Sciences prior to the semester in which the pro-
gram completion is expected (see the Academic
Calendar for submission dates). Graduation appli-
cation forms are available upon request from the
Office of Records and Registration. Students
should refer to the following section for complete
details concerning application for graduation. Fees
will be billed to the student’s account by the
cashier.
Students will be considered candidates for grad-
uation only if they have an overall and program
graduate grade-point average of 3.0 or higher at the
beginning of the term in which they wish to gradu-
ate.
Master’s Thesis
Students who submit a thesis in partial fulfillment
of the master’s degree must prepare it in conformi-
ty with the regulations approved by the
Aquaculture Graduate Coordinator. Five approval
pages bearing original signatures of the graduate
committee must be included with five typewritten,
clear, unbound copies of the thesis, all presented to
the Aquaculture Graduate Coordinator at least two
weeks prior to the end of summer school and three
weeks prior to the end of the Fall or Spring semes-
ter. Three copies are bound and become the prop-
erty of the Program; two copies are bound and
become the property of the Blazer Library. If any
additional bound copies are desired by the student
or the department, they should be presented direct-
ly to a commercial bindery. Theses must be on
white paper of at least 50 percent rag or cotton fiber
content and must be in a form acceptable to the
Aquaculture Program. Instructions for the prepara-
tion should be obtained from the Division of
Mathematics and Sciences before the thesis is
typed.
Theses must be developed under the direction of
a full member of the Graduate Faculty.
Time Limit for Degree Completion
All program requirements must be completed
within six years of initial admission, unless other-
wise approved by the Aquaculture Graduate
Coordinator.
Minimum Hours Required
The Master of Science in Aquaculture/Aquatic
Sciences Degree Program requires a minimum of
36 semester credit hours.
Class Attendance
The University expects all students to attend
class regularly. Students are responsible for course
work covered during all class periods, including the
first class meeting. Each instructor will record
absences and deal with them in a manner consis-
tent with University policy. If a student presents the
instructor with an adequate and documented rea-
son for an absence, the instructor normally will give
the student an opportunity to make up the work
missed, if this is feasible. Adequate reasons involve
circumstances beyond the student’s control, such
as personal illness, critical illness or death in the
immediate family, or participation in an approved
University activity. It is the student's responsibility
to initiate the request to make up class work
missed. Students should familiarize themselves
with each faculty member’s course syllabus for
specific details.
Comprehensive Examination(s)
All candidates shall perform satisfactorily on a
written and/or oral examination of the contents of
their program of studies and/or the defense of their
theses. Comprehensive examinations are sched-
uled after the application for the degree has been
filed and evidence exists indicating that the student
should complete all degree requirements.
Comprehensive examinations are not to be given
prior to admission to candidacy, or while the stu-
dent’s overall graduate grade-point average is
below 3.0.
Committee chairs must file the Schedule of
Oral/Comprehensive Examination in the
Aquaculture Research Center with copies to the
student and committee members at least two
KSU CATALOGUE 2000-2002 205
weeks prior to the comprehensive examination.
Committee chairs shall certify the results of the
completion of the comprehensive examination to
the Aquaculture Graduate Coordinator no later than
ten days in advance of Commencement.
A review period of no less than 60 days nor more
than one year is required of candidates who fail the
comprehensive examination or thesis defense ini-
tially. Additional courses or thesis work may be
required of an unsuccessful candidate. Committee
changes are not normally approved between the
first taking of the comprehensive examination or
thesis defense and the retake. Comprehensive
examinations may not be retaken more than once
for the master’s degree.
